About the Item

Vintage Chinese Art Deco Rug Doris Leslie Blau Size: 10'0" × 13'10" (304 × 421 cm) This exceptional Chinese Art Deco rug from circa 1945 is a captivating example of mid-20th-century textile artistry. Woven by hand from luxurious wool, the rug showcases a richly saturated palette and an exuberant floral design that reflects the boldness and optimism of the Art Deco era. The central field is a tapestry of stylized blossoms and scrolling vines arranged in a dynamic all-over lattice pattern. Vivid shades of magenta, golden yellow, and soft coral are set against a deep indigo-black ground, creating high contrast and visual rhythm. Each motif is carefully articulated with precision, forming an interlocking network of organic forms that seem to pulse with energy. Framing this vibrant core is a wide border rendered in a contrasting salmon pink, adorned with lush floral sprays and dramatic black vine tendrils. These outer elements echo the motifs of the inner field while lending structure and definition to the overall composition. The design’s asymmetrical flourishes and daring color combinations are characteristic of Chinese Art Deco rugs, which often blended Eastern symbolism with Western modernist aesthetics. The rug’s grand scale and luxurious texture make it a stunning focal point for any interior—whether in a vintage-inspired setting or as a statement piece in a contemporary room. The finely knotted wool lends a dense pile with a plush, soft hand underfoot, attesting to the quality of craftsmanship and materials. This vintage Art Deco Chinese rug is not just a decorative object but a historical artifact—a vibrant expression of a time when traditional Chinese design met the expressive exuberance of the 20th-century decorative arts movement. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
