Vintage Chinese Floral Soft Beige With Navy Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Damask Design BB2696 11'8" × 16'9" $35,000

This vintage Chinese hand-knotted wool rug, circa 1920, reflects a refined decorative weaving tradition in a formal damask trellis format. Its disciplined allover composition gives the piece a tailored presence while preserving the softness associated with Chinese antique and vintage rugs.

A soft beige field provides a calm ground for navy blue motifs arranged in a repeating lattice. Stylized floral cartouches, scrolling tendrils, and leaf forms unfold with measured rhythm, creating visual movement without the weight of a central medallion. The pattern feels crisp and orderly, yet the age of the rug has mellowed the drawing into a gentle, lived-in elegance.

A navy border with vine ornament and narrow guard stripes frames the field with clarity, reinforcing the rug’s architectural balance. The restrained beige-and-blue palette makes it especially versatile, while the geometric floral structure adds enough character to anchor a dining room, living area, or study with quiet formality. Hand-knotted in wool, it combines durability with the decorative precision that defines the best vintage Chinese rugs.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty.
