Chinese Art Deco Vintage Geometric Classic Taupe – Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB5399 13'7" × 17'3" $60,000

Hand-knotted in China circa 1920, this vintage Art Deco wool rug reflects the Chinese Deco weaving tradition with unusual clarity and restraint. Its warm taupe ground creates a calm, neutral base, while the graphic composition introduces just enough color to keep the surface lively and precise.

Interlocking diamonds and diagonal bands organize the field into a disciplined, architectural grid, softened by mirrored corner spandrels and a simplified zigzag border. Teal, deep blue, and black accents sharpen the geometry, while two small foliate motifs set inside teal-green diamond reserves lend a subtle organic counterpoint to the hard edges.

The result is a vintage Chinese geometric rug with a distinctly Deco sensibility: measured, directional, and elegantly composed. Its open negative space and crisp patterning make it especially suited to contemporary, transitional, and Art Deco-inspired interiors, where it can ground a room with structure, rhythm, and a quietly distinctive palette.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
