About the Item
Vintage Chinese Art Deco Rug Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 3'0" × 4'9" (91 × 144 cm)
Bold, architectural, and utterly modern for its time, this rare 1930s Chinese Art Deco rug is a striking example of the East-meets-West aesthetic that defined the era. Woven in the Republican period, the rug showcases a strong sense of rhythm and movement through a minimalist yet dynamic design.
A sweeping diagonal band of undulating, wave-like lines in warm tones of cinnamon, golden wheat, taupe, and ivory cuts across the field like a geological strata or a cascading topographical map. Interwoven with this organic flow is a set of structured, linear motifs rendered in stepped and interlocking forms, evoking elements of modernist architecture or early machine-age graphics. This juxtaposition between fluid curves and rigid grids speaks directly to the Art Deco movement’s fascination with industry, order, and stylized naturalism.
The field is rendered in a rich terra-cotta rose, lending warmth and subtle elegance to the piece. Its restrained color palette allows the composition to shine without overwhelming the senses, making this rug an ideal statement piece in a minimalist, Mid-century, or contemporary setting.
Expertly hand-knotted in wool, this petite yet powerful textile embodies the sophistication and bold experimentation of Chinese Art Deco design, where traditional craftsmanship met cosmopolitan vision.
Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
