Aubusson-Inspired Traditional Soft Beige Flatweave Wool Rug “Chinese Dragon” N12790 9'10" × 13'10" $16,000

Named “Chinese Dragon,” this Aubusson-inspired wool rug presents pictorial dragons and drifting cloud scrolls with a refined chinoiserie elegance. Set on a soft beige field, the composition pairs a centered medallion-and-crest layout with generous negative space, so every line reads clearly and the design feels open rather than heavy.

The palette unfolds in powder blue, lavender, terracotta, warm ivory, and muted gold, while the sinuous dragons move around the field with a graceful, almost airborne rhythm. Their fine linear drawing and the floral-geometric medallion at center lend the traditional pattern a tailored, gallery-like finish.

A crisp Greek-key border frames the flatweave structure, reinforcing the rug’s architectural balance and giving the surface a tapestry-like precision. Woven in wool, it offers a clean low-profile hand well suited to dining rooms, sitting rooms, and other interiors that call for a decorative traditional rug with quiet authority. Its crisp outline makes it especially effective in layered, designer-led spaces where pattern needs definition without visual density.

Exclusively curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rug exemplifies the balance of innovation, artistry, and enduring quality that defines the gallery's approach to contemporary carpet design. The expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection includes pieces ranging from understated modern works to one-of-a-kind statement rugs.

This design is available as a bespoke rug in custom sizes and colors.
