About the Item
Antique Chinese Silk Rug
Size: 5'7" × 8'8" (170 × 264 cm)
This exceptional late 19th-century Chinese silk rug embodies the intricate artistry and cultural symbolism of imperial-era textile craftsmanship. Handwoven circa 1880, this rare piece showcases a meticulous lattice of octagonal medallions, each enclosing a radiant floral rosette formed with jewel-like precision. The symmetry and repetition of the medallions reflect Confucian ideals of harmony and order.
A palette of rich crimson, indigo, gold, ivory, celadon, and Persian blue enlivens the rug, while a deep, finely executed indigo lattice divides the design into a grid, emphasizing balance and geometry. The central field is surrounded by a series of layered borders — the innermost features delicate floral and fretwork meanders, while the outermost border bursts with a vibrant maze-like “T’ao Tieh” motif in red, green, and gold on a parchment ground, echoing traditional Chinese fret patterns and protective symbolism.
Rendered in luminous silk pile, the surface possesses a subtle sheen and softness that elevates its visual richness. Each motif, from the stylized blossoms to the geometric fretwork, is steeped in auspicious meaning — floral medallions symbolizing renewal and harmony, and the fret motifs evoking longevity and protection.
Despite its age, this antique rug remains a testament to the mastery of Qing Dynasty textile artisans. Its dynamic composition and vibrant coloration make it not only a historical treasure but also a compelling focal point in a modern interior. Whether placed in a refined sitting room or hung as a decorative textile, this Chinese silk rug exudes sophistication, heritage, and artistic gravitas.
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.
