Antique Chinese Floral Wool Rug BB8884 8'7" × 11'4" $8,000

This exquisite hand-knotted Chinese rug from the 1920s beautifully exemplifies the early 20th-century artistry and craftsmanship associated with the Peking rug tradition. The rug features a rich, chocolate brown field elegantly contrasted by a detailed botanical design rendered in warm beige tones. The overall pattern consists of symmetrical floral sprays, scrolling vines, palmettes, and stylized lotus blooms, arranged with a masterful sense of balance and refinement.

Noteworthy is the rug’s gentle use of color—a warm, earthy palette grounded by a deep brown background with subtle plum-hued accents in the border outline. These tonal nuances contribute to the rug’s understated elegance and give it a dignified, almost regal aura. The floral motifs reflect the classic Chinese aesthetic with a strong influence from traditional Ming and Qing decorative arts.

Crafted entirely from high-quality wool, the rug exhibits a dense, soft pile that enhances its tactile appeal and durability. Its meticulous hand-knotting and crisp outlines reflect the high level of skill involved in its creation. Despite its antique origins, this rug maintains a timeless sophistication, making it a suitable piece for both traditional and modern interiors.

Whether used as a focal point in a formal setting or as a sophisticated accent in a contemporary room, this antique Chinese floral rug offers a perfect blend of heritage, beauty, and function.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
