Vintage Chinese Abstract Purple Hand-Knotted Silk Rug BB7435 5'0" × 8'2" $20,000

This vintage Chinese hand-knotted silk rug from China is woven in a refined decorative tradition that balances elegance with pattern-rich detail. Its compact format and luminous silk surface lend the piece a soft, collectible presence.

A deep plum-purple field is filled with a lively lattice of scrolling vines, trellis lines, and stylized blossoms. Coral, pink, ivory, forest green, and touches of yellow animate the composition, while the motifs remain crisply outlined for a sense of movement without visual clutter. The design feels both botanical and geometric, with the floral elements arranged in a near-abstract rhythm that gives the rug a fresh, contemporary edge.

A strong border architecture frames the interior: a pink-brick outer band with cloud-scroll ornament, a narrow series of guards, and an inner green meander that adds structure and definition. The hand-knotted silk construction enhances the sheen and keeps the drawing precise. The result is a Chinese vintage rug that works beautifully in rooms needing color, pattern, and a composed decorative anchor, especially alongside walnut, lacquer, or clean-lined modern furnishings.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
