About the Item

Vintage French Art Deco Rug Size: 3'1" × 9'3" (93 × 281 cm). This exquisite vintage French Art Deco rug from the 1940s embodies the elegance and spirited design language of the period, making it a vibrant addition to any refined interior. Crafted with exceptional attention to detail, the rug is a rare example of European decorative art that combines symmetry, movement, and natural motifs in an expressive modernist style. The rectangular runner format features a minimalist central field in a soft sand-beige tone, which offers a calming contrast to the vivid dynamism of the surrounding border. Surrounding this serene center, a rhythmic frame of hand-drawn linear elements in powder blue creates a stylized geometric lattice—suggestive of musical notes or floating reeds—invoking both structure and fluidity. The visual energy of the composition is elevated by the bold decorative framing that lines the rug’s outer edge. Bursting with a fiery palette of deep sienna, ochre, brick red, burnt orange, and warm taupe, the border comprises abstracted feather- or flame-like motifs arranged in an overlapping pattern that evokes the foliage of autumn. Interspersed among these dynamic forms are clusters of floral medallions—textural blue rosettes delicately stippled with coral and gray—that soften the composition and introduce a sense of organic harmony. Meticulously handwoven in wool using a flatweave technique, this rug delivers both durability and tactile richness. The tight weave and luminous wool pile showcase the mastery of French artisanship during the Art Deco era. Subtle abrash and natural wear add to its authenticity and charm, while the craftsmanship remains evident in its balanced composition and well-preserved colors. Elegant yet playful, structured yet organic, this vintage runner captures the duality of the Art Deco aesthetic: modern geometry infused with a reverence for nature. Perfect for hallways, galleries, or as an accent in transitional spaces, this rug offers timeless sophistication with an artistic soul. A remarkable vintage rug, from Doris Leslie Blau Collection, features a timeless elegance. 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.
