About the Item

Antique Chinese Art Deco Runner Rug (fragment) Size: 2'5" × 28'0" (73 × 853 cm) This exquisite early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco runner is a striking example of traditional craftsmanship blended with a bold decorative sensibility. Hand-knotted in China around 1900, the rug showcases an arresting composition of large-scale floral motifs in beautifully nuanced shades of indigo, slate blue, steel, and soft ivory. The design features a continuous ribbon of stylized blossoms and curling leafy vines flowing rhythmically across the length of the runner. The large flower heads—some nearly abstract in form—are rendered in subtly gradated tones that create depth and a painterly effect. These floral motifs float on a soft ivory field, flanked by tonal blue border stripes that add both balance and emphasis. The rug’s soft wool pile offers a plush texture, while its high-quality weave and symmetrical patterning lend it both durability and elegance. The subtle shading, achieved through masterful dyeing and knotting techniques, demonstrates the artistry of Chinese textile traditions. Though decorative in essence, this piece also carries a serene sense of harmony, making it ideal for sophisticated interiors—from hallways and stair landings to gallery-like corridors. Its timeless palette and lyrical floral theme embody the poetic spirit of Chinese Art Deco. 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.
