Vintage Chinese Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Peking BB2845 8'5" × 8'7" $22,000

This late 19th-century Chinese Peking rug is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the refined decorative tradition of Chinese city weaving. Its square format and softly aged surface lend the piece a collected, quietly elegant presence, while the restrained palette keeps the overall effect light and adaptable.

An allover botanical field covers the cream-beige ground with scattered blossoms, leafy stems, and trellis-like movement in dusty blue, lavender, pink, and sage. The drawing is intentionally irregular rather than rigidly patterned, creating a painterly garden effect. Delicate dark contouring gives the floral forms definition without disturbing the rug’s airy character.

A pronounced Greek key border in deep blue frames the composition, then gives way to a lighter floral outer band that echoes the inner field. The result is a vintage floral Chinese rug with enough ornament to anchor a room, yet enough softness to suit traditional, transitional, or eclectic interiors.

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.
