Made with hand-knotted wool in France circa 1940-1950, this 13x16 vintage French Art Deco rug is an extremely collectible piece from Leleu Decorateur—the work of an iconic family label known for their impact on an iconic design movement.On the Design: A gold and beige-brown open field underscores a border of geometric patterns in hues blue and red—a unique minimalist design, elegant yet striking in its exceptional use of a humble palette and subtlety. Admirers of the craft will recognize this as both an exemplar of its kind and a rare find for its size, its particular beige-brown colorway, and its overall condition—a treasure, 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. It’s a smart piece in its sense of depth and dimensionality, and one of few oversized rugs of its provenance in such an exceptional state known today. ConditionThis vintage Leleu rug further enjoys an overall good condition for its age and origin.
