Vintage Chinese Floral Cream Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8629 7'6" × 10'0" $20,000

Hand-knotted in China in the vintage 1920s–30s, this wool rug interprets the Chinese decorative tradition through a distinctly Art Deco lens. Its cream ground is softened by a velvety, slightly variegated surface that gives the entire composition a quiet glow.

Across the field, oversized leaves and stylized blossoms overlap in a painterly arrangement, creating the effect of a floral garden seen through layers of translucent color. Celadon, sage, olive, dusty blue, lavender, rose, coral, and buttery yellow sit against one another with soft edges, so the pattern feels airy rather than rigid. There is no formal medallion or border hierarchy; instead, the design drifts across the surface with a relaxed, botanical rhythm.

The result is a vintage Chinese floral carpet that reads as decorative art underfoot, equally suited to a serene bedroom, a refined living room, or a contemporary interior that benefits from warmth without heaviness. Fine hand-knotting and a plush wool pile reinforce its tactile appeal, while the open composition keeps the rug light, versatile, and easy to layer into modern schemes.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
