Vintage Chinese Art Deco Geometric Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet (Size Adjusted) BB8791 12'1" × 12'1" $60,000

This antique Chinese Art Deco carpet, hand-knotted in wool in China around the 1920s, reflects the refined geometric vocabulary of early modern Chinese weaving. Its balanced format and softened surface give it a composed, quietly elegant character that feels at home in both formal and more relaxed interiors.

A soft beige field carries a barely-there stepped trellis, with medallion-like compartments and small crest forms emerging in low relief. The pattern is intentionally subdued, so the design reads as tonal architecture rather than ornament, with cream, taupe, light gray, and hints of blush and powder blue subtly defining the layers. That restraint is what gives the piece its versatility.

A narrow border frames the composition with pale blue outlining and faded cartouche details, adding just enough definition to ground the open center. The result is a vintage Chinese rug that brings warmth, age, and understated Art Deco structure to rooms that benefit from pattern without visual weight. It works especially well as a calm anchor for layered furnishings.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty.
