About the Item

Antique Chinese Rug Size: 5'0" × 8'0" (152 × 243 cm) This exquisite early 20th-century Chinese rug captures the essence of timeless Eastern elegance, rendered through the lens of Art Deco simplicity and precision. Woven circa 1920, the piece demonstrates the harmonious marriage of traditional Chinese symbolism with the geometric clarity and refined restraint of the Deco period. At the heart of the composition lies an intricate lattice of stylized floral and vine motifs, densely arrayed in a symmetrical allover pattern. These motifs, drawn in deep inky blue, are gracefully entwined across a warm, dusty mauve field, creating a captivating interplay of light and dark. The design reads almost like calligraphy—fluent, rhythmic, and contemplative. Surrounding the central field, a robust border features angular cloud-band elements and architectural fretwork, adding weight and order to the more organic inner motif. Soft accents in celadon and peach subtly enrich the palette, reinforcing the rug’s understated luxury. Framed by a charcoal black outer border, the composition feels both grounded and elegant. Though minimal in color, the visual complexity is achieved through the confident balance of form and line, making it an ideal complement for both classical and modern interiors. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
