Vintage Chinese Art Deco Floral Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8844 7'0" × 9'8" $22,000

This antique Chinese rug, circa 1930, is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the refined Art Deco weaving tradition of early twentieth-century China. Its room-size format and calm tan ground give it an immediately usable presence, while the drawing stays crisp and disciplined.

Rather than a central medallion, the field is filled with an allover scrolling botanical trellis. Stylized vine forms curl and branch across the surface in soft beige and black, creating a pattern that feels both floral and architectural. The repetition is rhythmic but never crowded, so the design reads clearly from across a room and brings a quiet sense of movement to the composition.

A narrow border frames the field with related Chinese ornament and small diamond accents, giving the rug a tailored edge. The restrained palette of tan, light beige, and black makes it especially versatile for interiors that call for pattern without excess, whether placed beneath a seating group or used to soften a more modern setting.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
