About the Item

Vintage French Art Deco rug Size: 6'4" × 9'9" (193 × 297 cm) A striking example of mid-century modern minimalism, this vintage French Art Deco rug from the 1940s embodies the quiet elegance and functional abstraction of the Deco era. The rug's understated background in a natural flaxen beige sets the stage for a bold yet balanced composition of geometric motifs. Five vertical green rectangles anchor the field, each bisected by a slender brown line and intersected by a vivid red stripe—introducing a sharp modernist contrast. Subtle gray speckles intersperse the surface with a painterly spontaneity, adding texture and depth without interrupting the visual harmony. The juxtaposition of earthy tones with the unexpected jolts of color reflects the era's fascination with industrial design, cubism, and early modernist architecture. Woven in France, this piece exemplifies Deco's evolution toward abstraction and symmetry, distilling decorative elements into a refined language of line, color, and form. Its medium pile and robust wool construction ensure both durability and comfort underfoot, making it a functional art piece for contemporary interiors seeking a touch of vintage avant-garde flair. Ideal for modern, minimalist, or mid-century-inspired interiors, this Art Deco rug is a sophisticated fusion of form and function, color and quietude. A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
