About the Item

Vintage Chinese Deco Rug Size: 3'1" × 5'7" (93 × 170 cm) This charming vintage Chinese Deco rug from the early 20th century exemplifies the bold elegance and artistic flair of the Art Deco era. Hand-knotted in soft wool, the rug features a symmetrical and highly stylized botanical motif rendered in a striking palette of indigo blue and muted gold-beige. At the center, a magnificent medallion-like floral design radiates outward in layers of curling tendrils and serrated leaves, forming an opulent arabesque that fills the entire field. The dense yet fluid ornamentation is both balanced and energetic, reflecting the Eastern appreciation for harmony as well as the Deco movement’s embrace of strong visual rhythm. The blue background—evocative of deep water or twilight skies—sets a dramatic stage for the golden floral forms, which appear almost luminous in contrast. The texture, crafted through lush, looped pile, enhances the visual depth and provides tactile richness. Unlike traditional Chinese rugs that often feature rigid symmetry and figurative symbolism, this Deco piece leans more toward abstracted natural forms and decorative flourish, making it a perfect choice for both classic and contemporary interiors. Elegant and graphically powerful, this rug is a testament to the sophisticated craftsmanship of early 20th-century Chinese weavers under the influence of Western design trends. 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.
