Vintage Chinese Art Deco Geometric Sage Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB7874 8'0" × 15'5" $43,000

This vintage Chinese Deco rug from circa 1945 is a stunning embodiment of East-meets-West design, showcasing the vibrant creativity of the mid-century period. The lush emerald green field serves as a vivid backdrop for a bold, geometric central medallion rendered in rich tones of burgundy, mocha, plum, and tan. These stepped, symmetrical patterns radiate outward, lending the rug a dynamic architectural rhythm.

Complementing the geometry, stylized black floral motifs with bright orange blossoms branch elegantly across the field, introducing organic charm and visual balance. The interplay between angular shapes and flowing botanical forms exemplifies the Deco aesthetic’s fusion of structure and ornamentation.

In each corner, diagonal bands in earthy gradients—ranging from chocolate brown to pale beige and dusky pink—converge in dramatic stepped formations. Additional trellis grid motifs in orange and rust punctuate the composition, adding both texture and contrast. The palette is at once earthy and vibrant, grounded and experimental.

Flat-woven in fine wool, this rug reflects superb craftsmanship and a keen modernist sensibility. It stands as a powerful decorative statement—ideal for both contemporary and eclectic interiors seeking a piece that blends history with artistic flair.

Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
