About the Item
Antique 19th-Century Chinese Botanic Rug
Size: 5'10" × 10'2" (177 × 309 cm)
This exquisite mid-19th-century Chinese rug is a remarkable example of the sophisticated artistry of traditional Chinese weaving. Dating back to circa 1850, this antique rug showcases the timeless elegance and refinement of classic botanical motifs rendered in a harmonious and subdued palette.
The rug features an all-over pattern of soft cream and ivory floral vines sprawled across a field of muted tan and warm beige. The organic design is gracefully interwoven with stylized foliage and lotus-inspired blooms, conveying a sense of tranquility and balance that is intrinsic to classical Chinese aesthetics. The motifs appear to float against the warm field, lending the rug a painterly and ethereal quality.
Framing the central field is a striking border rendered in a deep navy blue, featuring an alternating floral and scroll motif in cream, ivory, and subtle tan. The border’s bolder coloration provides a dignified contrast and beautifully anchors the composition. A narrow band of celadon blue offers an additional visual transition between the field and the outer border, enhancing the overall symmetry and flow.
Woven with exceptional craftsmanship in wool, the pile shows a rich texture and soft sheen, characteristic of Chinese rugs from this period. Subtle abrashed variations in tone, especially in the field, highlight the natural dyes used and add depth and authenticity to the piece.
This rug is not only a decorative masterpiece but also a cultural artifact—an enduring symbol of China’s long-standing textile tradition. It would lend quiet sophistication and historical gravitas to both traditional and modern interiors.
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.
