About the Item
French Art Deco Rug Attributed To Elisabeth De Saedeleer
Size: 9'7" × 13'5" (292 × 408 cm)
This rare 1930s French Art Deco carpet—attributed to Elisabeth de Saedeleer—measures approximately 14 by 10 feet and exemplifies the movement’s synthesis of modern abstraction and refined craftsmanship. Its field is a warm dove-gray wool with a subtly variegated, “water-marked” appearance, achieved through fine abrash in the hand-spun fibers. Across this serene ground float a spare arrangement of linear and calligraphic motifs in three contrasting hues: deep charcoal brown straight lines—one horizontal band spanning the full width, and two shorter vertical strokes—define a rigid geometric framework, creamy ivory pin-lines trace two full-height verticals and echo the horizontal axis, their crisp clarity sharpening the composition and black-brown squiggles—short, undulating strokes—interrupt both the horizontal and verticals at asymmetrical points, lending a playful, almost musical rhythm. The overall effect is one of poised tension between strict orthogonal structure and spontaneous gestural marks—hallmarks of the 1920s–’30s French Deco avant-garde. The pure wool pile is clipped low for a smooth, matte finish that emphasizes the precision of each line. A discreet maker’s seal in the upper left corner—a small square monogram—confirms its atelier provenance.
As part of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated collection, this rug reflects the brand’s commitment to offering a wide range of high-quality pieces to suit various tastes and budgets. Whether you’re an avid collector or seeking a statement piece for your home, this carpet embodies timeless elegance and unparalleled craftsmanship.
