Chinese Vintage Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Silk Rug Metal Thread BB6282 5'0" × 8'0" $38,000

Hand-knotted in China in the late 19th century, this vintage silk rug with subtle metal-thread detail reflects the refined decorative weaving tradition of Chinese carpets. Its warm tan ground gives the piece a mellow, time-softened presence, while dark brown and navy framing keep the composition grounded and architecturally clear.

At center, a formal medallion in brick red and pale gold anchors a scrolling field of stylized blossoms, leafy tendrils, and rosette-like accents. The open arrangement allows each motif to read distinctly, creating a balanced floral composition that feels orderly rather than dense.

A dark border, narrow guard bands, and a broader floral frame complete the palette with touches of teal and rust. The silk pile lends a soft sheen, and the metal-thread accents add a restrained glimmer, making the rug well suited to traditional rooms, layered eclectic interiors, or spaces that call for pattern with composure. Its formal yet versatile character suits both classic and contemporary settings with ease.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
