About the Item
1940s Chinese Art Deco Rug Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 12'0" × 13'5" (365 × 408 cm)
Circa: 1940
Age: Vintage
Origin: China
Style: Art Deco
This striking vintage Art Deco rug, woven in China during the 1940s, exemplifies the distinctive blend of traditional Eastern motifs and modern Western aesthetics characteristic of the Chinese Art Deco movement. The piece is a vibrant tapestry of stylized floral forms and dynamic geometric arrangements that speak to the creative energy of the period.
Rendered in a palette of coral rose, burgundy, jade green, mint, ivory, and muted saffron, the rug's visual language is lush and layered. The background is a soft pink field punctuated by an arrangement of medallions and symmetrical floral bouquets. These motifs appear to float within a matrix of abstracted foliage and painterly striations, giving the composition an almost watercolor-like depth.
The field is organized into a strong central medallion design surrounded by corner spandrels and smaller mirrored motifs, all symmetrically positioned. The bouquet-like medallions are reminiscent of peony and chrysanthemum arrangements — symbols of prosperity and longevity in Chinese culture — while the crisp latticework and borderless design allow the motifs to breathe freely, unconfined by traditional framing.
Hand-knotted using high-quality wool, the rug maintains a soft, luxurious pile with subtle sheen and exceptional craftsmanship. Its rich texture and balanced coloration make it not only a historic artifact but also a versatile decorative piece, equally suited to modern interiors and traditional settings.
This rug captures a moment when Chinese artisans began to embrace Western design influences without abandoning their own iconographic traditions. It’s a rare and beautiful example of cross-cultural design synergy from a bygone era.
This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
