About the Item
Vintage French Art Deco Rug
Size: 13'0" × 13'3" (396 × 403 cm)
This exquisite early 20th-century French Art Deco rug is a masterful example of the movement’s embrace of decorative grandeur, symmetry, and stylized naturalism. Crafted circa 1900, the rug reflects the transitional spirit between late 19th-century ornamental richness and the burgeoning modernist aesthetic that defined Art Deco in the decades that followed.
The composition is boldly centered around a dramatic circular medallion that dominates the square format—a rare and powerful design choice that immediately draws the eye inward. This central circle features an intricate field of interlaced roses, poppies, and green foliage, blooming in rhythmic regularity across a coral and ivory ground. Each floral element is outlined with crisp precision, suggesting the influence of stained glass or cloisonné enamel work, popular in the decorative arts of the period.
Surrounding the florals is a radiating pattern of sky-blue rectangular panels separated by coral-colored spokes—evoking the architectural elegance of a domed ceiling, rose window, or sunburst motif. This radial layout is not just ornamental—it conveys a sense of harmony, light, and dynamism, hallmarks of the early Art Deco vision.
The border further enhances the architectural feel, with four golden acanthus cartouches anchoring the corners of the circle. The outermost frame features a floral vine motif in soft blush and lavender tones, contrasted by a more structured band of gold and black along the edge—merging organic and geometric themes in classic Art Deco fashion.
A masterful combination of peachy pink, sky blue, coral, soft ivory, verdant green, and golden ochre, offset by grounding black accents. These colors retain excellent saturation and lend the piece an air of romantic elegance without sacrificing structure.
Hand-knotted wool with extraordinary attention to detail. The crispness of the design and the fine weave indicate the work of highly skilled French artisans from one of the nation’s leading tapestry workshops.
This rare and opulent rug rom the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, stands not only as a functional textile but as a work of visual architecture. 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.
