About the Item
Antique Chinese Mongolian Rug
Size: 8'7" × 11'1" (261 × 337 cm)
Understated yet visually impactful, this antique Mongolian rug from the early 20th century is a stellar example of minimalist design meeting cultural depth. Woven in the Chinese tradition with Mongolian influence, the rug showcases a clean, symmetrical composition centered around harmony, symbolism, and restrained elegance.
The field of the rug is rendered in a deep, chocolate brown—rich and warm, acting as a dramatic backdrop for the lighter beige and taupe motifs that subtly animate the surface. At the center sits a medallion inspired by a classic Chinese longevity symbol, composed of concentric rings and geometric articulation. This central emblem offers a sense of stability and spiritual grounding, drawing the eye with quiet authority.
Scattered across the field are evenly spaced floral rosettes—stylized blossoms or possibly four-petal plum flowers—representing renewal and resilience. Their consistent layout provides rhythm and calm, while preserving the serenity of negative space that defines Mongolian and northern Chinese design sensibilities.
The border is a triumph of precision: narrow bands of interlocking fretwork and simple linear outlines surround the rug, framing it with architectural clarity. Four corner spandrels feature complex lattice motifs—a nod to traditional Chinese fret designs—lending just enough decorative weight without disrupting the minimalist aesthetic.
Woven entirely from high-quality wool, this rug retains a velvety surface and gentle luster, attributes prized in Mongolian weavings of this period. Its subdued palette and balanced geometry make it highly versatile—suitable for both contemporary and classical interiors where texture and history are desired without visual excess.
This antique Mongolian carpet embodies the essence of meditative elegance. A rare and thoughtful artifact, it is a reflection of the quiet sophistication of early 20th-century East Asian decorative arts.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
