Vintage Chinese Botanic Handmade Wool Rug Doris Leslie Blau

About the Item

Vintage Chinese Botanic Handmade Wool Rug Doris Leslie Blau Size: 7'0" × 9'8" (213 × 294 cm) This striking antique Chinese rug, likely from the early 20th century, presents a rare and captivating design rooted in traditional symbolism and refined artistry. The field is rendered in a warm honey beige tone, intricately filled with an elaborate, symmetrical pattern of meandering cloud bands outlined in bold black and ivory. These stylized cloud motifs, often associated with auspicious energy and celestial realms in Chinese art, are masterfully composed to form a sense of rhythmic movement across the surface. Scattered accents of dark ink-like brushstrokes add dynamic contrast, further emphasizing the calligraphic quality of the design. The broad border features a continuous band of abstract forms and wave-like scrolls in a more open configuration, balancing the rug’s dense central field. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, this piece reflects the precision and spiritual symbolism characteristic of classical Chinese textiles. Both timeless and visually compelling, it would lend a grounded yet sophisticated presence to interiors ranging from traditional to contemporary Asian-inspired spaces. 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.
