Antique French Art Deco Rug in Green with Floral Border - Rug & Kilim
Hand-knotted in wool, originating circa 1920–1929 from France, this 9x13 antique rug joins Rug & Kilim’s Art Deco collection. It features an open sage-green field framed by a floral border in pink, gold, and blue.
On the Design:
The French Art Deco carpet movement emerged during the 1920s, catalyzed by the landmark 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris. Moving away from heavy 19th-century realism, leading French ateliers and designers like René Crevel and Paul Follot began blending classical decorative elegance with modernist clarity. By opening up the center and concentrating ornamentation along the edges, Art Deco weavers achieved a lighter, balanced spatial presence suited for progressive Parisian salons. The style favored fresh, sophisticated color harmonies—contrasting tranquil verdant grounds with stylized, jewel-toned botanicals—creating luxurious floor coverings designed to complement geometric furniture, lacquered wood, and fine bronze interior accents.
The design centers on an expansive, unadorned open field in a soft sage-green tone, displaying gentle horizontal abrash shifts across the pile. Surrounding the green interior is an elaborate scalloped garland border rendered in pastel pink, antique gold, sky blue, and ivory. Stylized floral blossoms, rosettes, and scrolling foliate tendrils weave through the main band, enclosed by clean linear guard stripes and a solid green outer margin. Sized to anchor a living room, formal dining room, primary bedroom suite, or gallery salon, this antique French Art Deco rug brings refined European elegance, balanced color framing, and historical pedigree to contemporary, traditional, and transitional interiors.
