Chinese Vintage Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Silk and Metal Rug BB9212 6'1" × 8'10" $30,000

This antique Chinese hand-knotted silk and metal rug belongs to the refined Chinese export tradition, presenting a geometric composition with a distinctly collected character. Its warm tan ground and cool blue framing create a balanced, versatile presence that feels elegant rather than ornate.

The field is arranged as a compartmentalized lattice of rounded floral medallions, each set within a meandering trellis that lends the design steady rhythm. Softly faded brick red, dusty blue, sage, warm tan, and pale yellow details animate the pattern, while the repeating structure keeps the overall effect measured and decorative.

A strong Greek-key border encloses the center, while the outer guard and corner panels introduce Chinese-inspired accents and small pictorial notes that deepen the rug’s Khotan-influenced vocabulary. With its hand-knotted silk and metal construction, it offers texture, subtle sheen, and historical character, making it a natural choice for layered living rooms, libraries, or a composed dining setting.
