About the Item

Antique Chinese Rug Size: 4'1" × 6'7" (124 × 200 cm) This exquisite early 20th-century Chinese rug is a masterful example of traditional silk weaving, showcasing the finesse and elegance synonymous with antique Chinese textile artistry. Crafted entirely from lustrous hand-knotted silk, the rug possesses a delicate sheen and luxurious texture that elevate its decorative appeal. The field features a symmetrical layout of refined floral medallions rendered in soft golden hues, gentle creams, and rich purples. Each medallion is framed in a squared floral motif, symbolizing balance and unity, while stylized lotus blossoms and rosettes dot the surrounding space. These design elements speak to traditional Chinese symbolism—longevity, harmony, and beauty. Surrounding the central field is a warm brown border, elegantly adorned with cloud bands and corner fretwork in deeper purple tones. The interplay between the soft silk pile and the subtle tonal shifts creates an almost iridescent surface, enhancing the rug’s visual depth and sophistication. More than a decorative piece, this antique Chinese silk rug is a testament to the artistic and spiritual traditions of early 20th-century China. Its serene palette, intricate motifs, and luxurious material make it an exceptional addition to refined interiors, whether traditional or contemporary. 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.
