Vintage Chinese Art Deco Floral Warm Tan And Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB5238 3'1" × 5'7" $3,000

Hand-knotted in China in the early 20th century, this vintage wool rug belongs to the Chinese Art Deco tradition, where classical floral forms were translated into a more streamlined, modern vocabulary. The wool pile lends a soft, tactile finish, while the composition remains crisp and balanced.

A central medallion-like crest anchors the design, then mirrored scrolls, foliate curls, and floral flourishes move outward in a steady rhythm. The pattern is densely worked but never fussy; its clear symmetry and softened edges give the rug a tailored decorative presence with a subtly abstract character.

Warm tan and teal-blue tones create a lively contrast across the pile, allowing the ornament to read almost like cut velvet against a textured ground. Without a pronounced border, the pattern fills the entire surface, making the rug especially effective for grounding a room with color, movement, and vintage personality.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
