Vintage Chinese Art Deco Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7873 8'9" × 11'5" $20,000

This vintage Chinese Art Deco rug from the 1950s is hand-knotted in wool and rooted in the Chinese Deco tradition. Its disciplined layout and vivid contrast give it the poise of an architectural plan, while the softened beige ground keeps the composition grounded and approachable.

A stepped central medallion in deep teal and navy sits within a muted beige surround, then yields to a rich burgundy field and a bold blue inner border. Along the edges, stylized flowering branches and small geometric blossoms introduce cream, blush, sage, and hints of gold, softening the strict symmetry without disturbing it. The crisp outlines and tiered forms create a graphic, almost skyline-like rhythm.

That balance of order and ornament is what makes the rug so versatile. It brings Art Deco structure to contemporary interiors, adds a refined counterpoint to transitional rooms, and offers collectors a Chinese rug with clear decorative intent, subtle floral detailing, and a memorable palette.

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.
