Vintage Chinese Geometric Light Blue With Powder Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7996 14'2" × 19'8" $100,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool Chinese rug reflects the formal weaving tradition of China, pairing a restrained palette with an elegant allover composition. Its vintage character and carefully balanced drawing give it the poise of a decorative classic while keeping the overall effect light and approachable.

The light blue field is organized by a loose trellis of repeating cartouche forms, each one softened by floral infill and fine linear detail. Rather than a single medallion, the design unfolds across the surface in measured rows, creating a quiet rhythm of geometric and botanical motifs. Powder blue and navy blue accents add definition without breaking the rug’s airy, low-contrast presence.

A layered border frames the composition with traditional floral and cloud-band inspired ornament, reinforcing the rug’s formal structure. The gently faded finish lends depth and softness, making this Chinese geometric rug especially appealing in interiors that call for pattern, calm, and a tailored decorative foundation.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
