Antique Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 Metal Thread BB6637 6'0" × 8'3" $14,000

Antique Chinese tapestry rug, circa 1920, woven in the early 20th-century Chinese tradition, unites pictorial imagery with refined textile work. Its wool and metal-thread weave gives the surface a subtle sheen and a remarkably nuanced, painterly quality.

The soft beige field is arranged as a framed landscape of terraced hills, slender pines, and pavilion-like roofs rising through misty layers. Stitched in muted brick red, dusty pink, slate gray, forest green, and warm gold, the scene feels calm yet intricate, with every tree and roofline rendered in miniature detail. The composition reads almost like a hanging scroll translated into carpet form, and the Chinese inscription at the lower border adds to its collectible art-rug character.

A rich floral border encloses the scene with scrolling blossoms and wave-like ornament, reinforcing the tapestry's decorative clarity. Because of its pictorial scale and restrained palette, this antique Chinese rug works beautifully as a statement anchor for interiors that favor antique textiles, quiet color, and layered historical character.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
