About the Item
Antique Chinese Silk Rug
Size: 7'6" x 11'1" (228 x 337 cm)
This exceptional early 20th-century Chinese silk rug is a rare example of refined craftsmanship and aesthetic harmony, echoing the artistic sensibilities of the late Qing Dynasty. Handwoven from luminous silk fibers, the rug displays a sophisticated palette anchored by a warm cinnabar field that gracefully supports an arrangement of traditional Chinese motifs.
The design centers around a striking peony medallion flanked by delicate floral sprays and auspicious Buddhist symbols. These motifs are rendered in cool ivory and pale blue tones, producing a compelling contrast against the rich terracotta ground. Flowing cloud bands drift through the composition, softening its symmetry with dynamic visual movement.
Framing the field is a narrow black key-fret border—symbolizing eternity—which is enclosed within a wide outer frame of auspicious fretwork scrolls and lotus blossoms. Woven in ochre, rust, and soft celadon tones, the border creates a balanced frame while offering a quiet echo of the inner design elements.
The use of silk imbues the rug with a luminous sheen, accentuating the artistry of its linework and enhancing the soft interplay of color. Its fine knotting and low, velvety pile are a testament to the weaver’s mastery and the cultural heritage of Chinese court rugs.
Whether displayed on the floor or as a wall tapestry, this antique silk Chinese rug offers an enduring sense of elegance and spiritual symbolism. A true collector’s piece, it bridges classical Eastern design and timeless decorative appeal.
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.
