Doris Leslie Blau 19th Century Chinese Beige Navy Handmade Wool Rug

About the Item

Authentic Mid-19th century Chinese beige and dark blue handwoven wool rug Size: 5'10" × 10'2" (177 × 309 cm) This antique Chinese rug features floral motifs and vines against a field of beige, and a dark blue border containing more stylized flowers and vines, circa 1850. There is evidence that decorative Oriental rugs and carpets have been a significant art form within the Chinese culture for many centuries, if not for several millennia. Mostly in blues and beiges, with classical symbols of longevity, elaborate lotus blossoms, chrysanthemums, cloud-band motifs, foo-dogs and birds, these antique Chinese carpets and rugs are frequently visible in paintings from as early as the Tang period. In the borders of antique Chinese rugs and carpets, mythical animals and scrolling vines impart mystical, cultural and symbolic meanings to the appreciation of this genre. Unlike Persian rugs, Chinese rugs are not generally associated with local rug production areas, but there are differences between central Chinese rugs and those from East Turkestan, Tibet and Mongolia. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
