Chinese Vintage Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB7087 9'0" × 11'4" $9,850

Antique Chinese hand-knotted wool carpet from the early 1900s, this room-size piece reflects the graceful Chinoiserie tradition associated with Chinese decorative weaving. Its warm tan ground keeps the composition calm and luminous, allowing the drawing to read with clarity rather than density.

The field is organized as an open allover lattice of scrolling navy vines, enlivened by cream blossoms and light blue accents. Scattered dark foliage creates a measured contrast, giving the pattern a rhythmic, almost calligraphic movement. The result feels balanced and airy, with enough ornament to bring character while preserving generous negative space.

A disciplined border architecture, including a pale blue Greek-key band, a narrow navy outline, and a broader outer frame with a subtle wave-like repeat, adds polish and reinforces the rug’s tailored geometry. As an antique Chinese rug, it offers a composed, collected presence that suits formal dining rooms, serene living spaces, or layered contemporary interiors.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
