Vintage Chinese Geometric Oversized Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug (Size Adjusted) BB6130 13'0" × 25'0" $130,000

This oversized vintage Chinese rug, circa 1920, is hand-knotted in wool and rooted in the refined Chinese weaving tradition. Its warm tan field gives the composition a mellow, time-softened tone that feels composed and adaptable rather than decorative for decoration’s sake.

Instead of a central medallion, the design favors an open field with faint botanical scrollwork and cloud-like tracery drifting across the surface. The drawing is deliberately low contrast, allowing the negative space to remain legible while subtle geometry lends structure beneath the softer forms.

A more animated border gathers most of the ornament, combining fretwork geometry with scrolling vines, stylized blossoms, and small touches of celadon, pale turquoise, and muted mauve. Against the sandy ground, these cooler accents frame the rug with quiet definition, making it a versatile vintage Chinese rug for interiors that favor texture, restraint, and historical character.
