This vintage Art Deco rug from the 1950s is a striking example of mid-century European textile artistry, blending the bold geometry of Deco design with whimsical natural motifs. Hand-knotted in wool, the rug exhibits a vibrant interplay of rich emerald, olive, moss, and jade greens, punctuated by accents of ivory and pale gold. At the heart of the composition lies a central field arranged in a loose grid of stylized floral rosettes. These blossoms, each rendered with scalloped petals and dot centers, alternate in tone—ranging from soft cream to dusty yellow and sage—producing a rhythmic, almost animated visual cadence. Surrounding this floral tableau is a dramatic geometric border of interlocking arrows and chevrons. Zigzagging shapes in contrasting tones of forest green, chartreuse, and dark jade direct the eye around the perimeter and reinforce the rug’s structured, architectural balance. A secondary outer border, narrower and denser in decoration, features repeating floral squares, subtly echoing the inner field while adding cohesion and visual weight. While grounded in the tenets of the Art Deco movement—clarity, symmetry, and streamlined form—the rug’s palette and design also evoke a playful, almost folk-art sensibility. Its soft pile and masterful craftsmanship offer both durability and a luxurious tactile experience. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike. See less
