Vintage Chinese Floral Light Beige With Navy Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Peking BB7126 11'0" × 11'3" $38,000

This vintage Chinese Peking rug is hand-knotted in wool, presenting a formal Chinoiserie composition in a light beige and navy blue palette. It offers a quiet balance between ornament and structure.

Its light beige field is organized by a fine trellis that softens the geometry with scrolling stems, stylized florals, and crest-like blossoms. A centered roundel anchors the composition, while the four corner brackets and repeating medallion forms create a measured, architectural rhythm. The navy drawing is crisp and graphic, giving the surface clarity and contrast. Small floral accents dispersed through the field keep the design animated rather than rigid.

A layered border structure sharpens the design: a Greek key fret frames the field, while the outer band carries a floral repeat in deep blue and soft ivory. That disciplined border hierarchy lends the rug a tailored presence and underscores the refinement associated with the Peking weaving tradition. It works especially well in traditional, transitional, or contemporary interiors that need pattern, restraint, and a collected Chinese decorative character.

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.
