Vintage Chinese Art Deco Geometric Oversized Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8490 15'6" × 20'10" $65,000

This antique Chinese Art Deco hand-knotted wool rug from early twentieth-century China reflects the refined decorative weaving tradition that flourished in the period. Its restrained composition and softened surface give it the quiet authority of a collector’s carpet while keeping it flexible for contemporary interiors.

The light beige field is laid out in an allover trellis of interlocking geometric lines, creating a calm, maze-like rhythm across the surface. Time has gently muted the drawing, allowing pale blue, soft peach, and warm taupe to emerge as washed accents. A faded central reserve adds depth without disturbing the rug’s balanced, architectural order.

Framing the composition, a crisp Greek key border provides definition, while the outer floral band softens the edge with a lighter decorative note. That interplay of structure and understatement is characteristic of Art Deco Chinese rugs, making this piece well suited to formal living rooms, layered transitional schemes, or spaces that call for subtle pattern.

Part of the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage piece reflects the gallery's unwavering dedication to quality, authenticity, and design heritage. Founded in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau remains one of the world's most trusted sources for exceptional rugs, from rare mid-century finds to contemporary masterworks.
