About the Item

Large Antique Chinese Rug Size: 14'8" × 15'3" (447 × 464 cm) This magnificent 19th-century antique Chinese rug is an exceptional example of traditional Chinese textile artistry, reflecting both imperial elegance and balanced minimalism. Hand-knotted in wool, the carpet features a rare square format with impeccable symmetry, showcasing a design rooted deeply in classical Chinese aesthetics. At the heart of the composition lies a striking central medallion, composed of an intricate labyrinthine fretwork motif rendered in rich indigo and cerulean tones. This bold centerpiece evokes traditional Chinese symbolism often associated with longevity and protection. Surrounding this medallion is a softly nuanced golden-beige field, densely populated with faint cloud bands and delicate floral sprays in light ivory and blue hues, creating a layered sense of depth and texture. The rug’s wide border features scrolling cloud motifs and stylized wave forms, all articulated in varying shades of blue. In each corner, geometric fret patterns anchor the design, contributing to the visual harmony and reinforcing its architectural strength. The use of a restrained yet vivid palette—primarily gold, ivory, and layered blues—heightens the sense of calm sophistication. As is characteristic of antique Chinese carpets from this era, this piece blends symbolic artistry with elegant restraint. Woven during the Qing Dynasty, it embodies the harmony of Heaven and Earth, making it not only a collector’s treasure but also an extraordinary decorative statement for any refined interior. 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.
