Vintage Chinese Floral Oversized Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB7556 14'5" × 23'0" $85,000

This oversized early 20th-century Chinese hand-knotted wool carpet presents a refined floral interpretation rooted in traditional Eastern weaving. Rather than a formal medallion scheme, the composition unfolds as an allover botanical field, with scrolling vines, rosettes, blossoms, and foliate sprays arranged in a calm, near-even rhythm.

The palette is quietly atmospheric: a pale sand ground softened by dusty blue, teal, and light gray accents that appear and recede with the rug’s gentle wear. That muted contrast gives the design a layered, painterly quality, allowing the floral motifs to read with softness instead of sharp definition.

A restrained border frames the interior without interrupting its tapestry-like flow, reinforcing the rug’s balanced, formal character. The result is a vintage Chinese floral carpet with enough ornament to enrich a room, yet enough tonal subtlety to ground a layered interior with ease.

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.
