About the Item

Vintage Chinese Art Deco Rug Size: 4'10" × 9'4" (147 × 284 cm) Elegant in its restraint, this vintage Chinese Art Deco rug from the 1920s offers a masterclass in quiet luxury. Woven in soft, lustrous wool, the rug features a nearly monochromatic beige field that provides a sense of calm and openness—perfectly suited for serene, contemporary interiors. Around the perimeter, a subtle floral garland unfolds in delicate pastel tones—faint aquas, gentle celadons, and faded cinnamons—nearly dissolving into the background. These minimalist floral and botanical flourishes speak to traditional Chinese decorative motifs but are presented through the filtered lens of Art Deco sensibility: stylized, softened, and barely there. The overall effect is one of faded grandeur and graceful aging. The rug is intentionally minimal, allowing it to serve as an elegant foundation for a space without dominating it. Its large field of negative space makes it highly versatile, lending itself to both traditional and modern interiors, particularly those that value softness, texture, and subtlety. The piece is hand-knotted with a low wool pile, exhibiting excellent craftsmanship characteristic of early 20th-century Chinese workshops that produced rugs for both domestic and export markets. 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.
