About the Item
1920s Chinese Wool Rug – Symbolic Elegance with Minimalist Balance Rug Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 8'8" × 11'2" (264 × 340 cm)
This captivating Chinese wool rug from the 1920s exemplifies the harmony of minimalist design and symbolic richness, characteristic of early 20th-century Mongolian textile artistry. Woven by hand from high-quality wool, the rug features a calm tan field that provides an elegant stage for its deep indigo and soft lavender-blue ornamentation.
At the heart of the design is the endless knot—a revered Buddhist symbol of eternity, interconnectedness, and harmony—placed prominently within each corner of the field. These motifs are meticulously rendered in a squared, architectural style that adds rhythm and structure to the otherwise open space. The central field is deliberately left unadorned, a visual pause that enhances the symbolism of serenity and spaciousness.
A striking border of alternating diamond grid motifs frames the entire composition. These secondary symbols evoke ideas of balance, cosmic order, and the interconnected fabric of life. The palette—earthy beige paired with midnight blue and slate gray—gives the rug a grounded, dignified presence while maintaining a soothing aesthetic.
Measuring approximately 11' x 9', this piece is both decorative and meditative, ideal for interiors that value calm sophistication. Its restrained yet meaningful design reflects the spiritual and philosophical depth of early Chinese rug weaving traditions. This rug is not only a beautiful textile but also a contemplative object—quiet in voice but rich in cultural resonance.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
