About the Item

Vintage Chinese Rug Size: 6'2" × 9'0" (187 × 274 cm) A captivating example of early 20th-century Chinese textile artistry, this vintage rug, dating from the 1910s, reflects the refined aesthetics and symbolism of its time. Hand-knotted in China, the piece features a lustrous silk pile that enhances its luminous golden-yellow field, creating a sense of regal opulence. The central field is adorned with an allover scrolling vine pattern, delicately rendered in subdued ochre and tan tones. These stylized motifs echo traditional Chinese cloud bands and floral arabesques, creating a sense of continuous motion and harmony. The composition is framed by a sophisticated border system comprising a narrow fretwork inner band and a wider main border showcasing a combination of lotus blossoms and auspicious symbols in rich coral, midnight blue, and lavender hues. The contrast between the radiant field and the nuanced border tones adds depth and visual rhythm to the composition. True to Chinese tradition, the rug balances elegance with auspicious meaning—each lotus and scroll motif contributing to a visual language of longevity, prosperity, and tranquility. This silk Chinese rug stands as both a decorative centerpiece and a cultural artifact, embodying the technical finesse and symbolic richness characteristic of Chinese weaving from the early Republic era. Its exceptional craftsmanship and well-preserved color palette make it a distinguished choice for collectors and connoisseurs of antique rugs. 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.
