Chinese Art Deco Vintage Floral Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8489 13'3" × 24'7" $95,000

This antique Chinese Art Deco rug, woven circa 1930, captures the poised elegance of early 20th-century Chinese carpet weaving in hand-knotted wool. Its composed layout and softened palette make it an especially versatile vintage rug for refined interiors.

A warm taupe field is filled with a fine allover botanical pattern that reads as a quiet, tonal ground rather than a busy repeat. At each end, arched cartouches open into fan-like corner spandrels, rendered in muted olive, blush pink, ivory, and touches of pale blue. The effect is graceful and architectural, with the motifs creating a framed silhouette that recalls both cresting feathers and stylized chrysanthemum blooms.

A narrow floral border completes the composition with scrolling vines and small blossoms, reinforcing the rug’s decorative rhythm without interrupting its calm center. Elegant yet restrained, this vintage Chinese Art Deco rug brings texture, pattern, and a soft classic taupe palette to dining rooms, living spaces, and more formal settings.

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.
