About the Item
Antique Chinese Botanic Rug
Size: 14'2" × 19'8" (431 × 599 cm)
A rare and refreshing example of early 20th-century Chinese artistry, this antique rug from the 1920s elegantly blends traditional symbolism with a soft, contemporary color palette. Woven entirely by hand, this botanical-themed carpet exudes sophistication through its delicate use of icy blue and ivory hues, creating a serene, almost ethereal atmosphere.
At the heart of the design lies a meditative repetition of stylized florals and vine scrolls, framed by a richly detailed border of lotus blossoms, cloud bands, and organic motifs. Unlike many Chinese rugs of the period that embraced bold contrasts and imperial symbolism, this piece adopts a subtler aesthetic—evoking natural harmony over opulence.
Crafted using fine wool and dyed with soft washes of blue and white, the pile retains a gentle sheen that enhances its visual depth. The composition displays clear balance and symmetry, a hallmark of traditional Chinese design, yet the painterly blending of shades gives it a unique modern appeal.
With its botanical elegance and generously sized proportions, this rug is not just a floor covering—it is a statement piece. Perfect for grounding a grand salon, dining room, or refined contemporary space, BB7996 offers the rare opportunity to own a timeless artifact of Chinese textile history.
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.
