About the Item
Vintage French Modernist Rug
Size: 8'3" × 11'1" (251 × 337 cm)
This exceptional vintage French Modernist rug from the 1950s is a stunning example of post-war European design, blending expressive florals with a distinctly modern aesthetic. Woven in flatweave technique, the rug presents a painterly composition reminiscent of French tapestry art, executed with the precise geometry and stylization characteristic of mid-century design.
The composition unfolds across a vivid denim-blue field, serving as a serene and contemporary backdrop for an exuberant display of oversized chrysanthemums and abstract florals. Blooming in bold strokes of coral, crimson, ivory, buttercream, peach, lavender, and navy, the flowers seem to cascade organically across the surface, creating a sense of depth and movement. The blooms are asymmetrically arranged, lending the piece a dynamic, almost kinetic energy that contrasts beautifully with the quiet restraint of the negative space.
Rendered in soft yet durable wool, the rug’s flat texture allows the nuanced color gradations and floral motifs to stand out with clarity and refinement. Its palette—both modern and romantic—makes it a perfect accent for a minimalist, contemporary, or eclectic interior.
This French Modernist rug exemplifies a transitional moment in European design, where the decorative arts embraced both painterly expression and abstract modernism. A rare and elegant textile artwork, it brings warmth, movement, and historic sophistication into any space.
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.
