Chinese Vintage Floral Warm Tan With Teal Hand-Knotted Wool Runner (Size Adjusted) BB8503 3'7" × 24'8" $15,000

This antique Chinese runner, hand-knotted in wool and circa 1930s, reflects a refined decorative weaving tradition rooted in China. Its long, narrow format and softly aged surface give the piece an easy elegance suited to both classic and contemporary interiors.

A warm tan central panel reads almost like an elongated cartouche, gently ornamented with small botanical sprigs and faint linear details. Around it, a deep teal-blue ground forms a continuous floral border of scrolling vines and blossoms, creating a clear frame that guides the eye down the length of the rug. The contrast between the light center and darker edges lends the composition structure without making it feel rigid.

The worn patina softens every motif, allowing the floral pattern to feel relaxed and atmospheric rather than busy. As a size-adjusted vintage Chinese floral runner, it is especially well suited to hallways, galleries, and other transitional spaces where an antique rug needs to bring color, rhythm, and quiet character.

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.
