Made with hand-knotted wool in France circa 1930-1940, this 3x5 vintage French Art Deco rug is an extremely collectible original from Leleu Decorateur—the work of an iconic family label known for their impact on an iconic design movement.
On the Design:
Admirers of the craft will recognize this as an exemplar of its kind, embodying the same unique principles of French Deco that began with Jules Leleu and continued with his children Paule, André, and Jean when they took over the business in the years that yielded this period piece. This piece features a cream white geometric pattern resting atop a light background of beige and pink tones—a unique play of lush, comfortable pile and sharp detail, speaking to its quality. It’s among the most ironically engaging and bold works of minimalist geometry and a humble palette to emerge from this movement, both simple and graceful, with a smart sense of depth and dimensionality few such tastefully elegant rugs enjoy. The rug’s versatile size, too, offers vast applications to the modern designer and collector alike—a small yet irreplaceable one-of-a-kind rug, as equally suited to wall-hanging projects as it is to the floor.
Condition:
This vintage Leleu rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin. less
