About the Item

Vintage Chinese Rug Size: 8'4" × 10'10" (254 × 330 cm) This sophisticated 1920s Chinese rug is a compelling representation of Art Deco-era Chinese weaving, where subtle symbolism and refined restraint converge. Hand-knotted in soft wool, the rug features a monochromatic field in a warm, ivory-beige tone, which allows its intricately carved pattern to reveal itself through texture rather than contrast. At the heart of the composition lies a large, medallion-like shou (寿) symbol—representing longevity—artfully embedded within a lattice of scrolling clouds and fretwork motifs. These motifs, although tonal, are rendered in high relief through meticulous carving, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of early 20th-century Chinese weavers. The rug is framed by a striking deep navy border filled with winding vines, lotus blossoms, and peonies—symbols of purity, rebirth, and prosperity. The elegant contrast between the subdued field and the vivid border adds visual structure while maintaining a sense of grace and tranquility. Preserved in excellent vintage condition, this Chinese Art Deco rug is an exemplar of serene beauty and understated opulence. It would complement both minimalist interiors and more traditional settings, adding a layer of cultural depth and quiet elegance. 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.
