Vintage Chinese Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug (Size Adjusted) Lotus Design BB7897 13'8" × 14'5" $60,000

This captivating 1920s Chinese Art Deco rug exemplifies the elegance and sophistication of early 20th-century Eastern decorative arts reinterpreted through a Western lens. The piece is a stunning example of symmetry, delicate colorwork, and refined craftsmanship.

The field features a harmonious allover trellis design of curving vine scrolls in soft rose-pink tones that dance fluidly across a mellow, warm beige background. Interspersed throughout the sinuous vinework are stylized floral rosettes and medallions rendered in a varied palette of garnet red, azure blue, sapphire, ochre, ivory, and charcoal. This interplay of color injects visual rhythm and elegance while maintaining a tranquil, almost dreamlike quality.

Framing the composition is a striking border that contrasts beautifully with the central field. The main border alternates between panels of rich navy and ochre and is filled with symbolic and stylized floral motifs, including lotus blossoms, peonies, and Chinese fretwork. These elements are complemented by corner spandrels featuring geometric cloud band motifs, grounding the composition with a subtle architectural strength.

Executed in luxurious wool with a dense weave and soft pile, the rug retains its luster and texture, indicative of the fine materials and skilled craftsmanship employed in its creation. Its palette and pattern are hallmarks of Chinese Art Deco aesthetics—opulent yet understated, and always well-balanced.

Perfect for a grand interior or a sophisticated modern space, this rug functions not only as a floor covering but also as a piece of art that encapsulates the East-meets-West design sensibilities of its time.
