About the Item

Antique Chinese Rug Size: 13'4" × 14'9" (406 × 449 cm) Steeped in cultural symbolism and remarkable craftsmanship, this square-shaped antique Chinese rug from the 1870s is a masterful example of traditional Chinese weaving. Measuring 12'5" by 12'5", the piece is notable not only for its harmonious proportions but also for its richly decorative aesthetic and historical authenticity. The rug’s field is dyed a mellow apricot tone, creating a warm, sun-kissed ground that’s alive with intricate botanical motifs. Scattered across the surface are stylized blossoms, leaves, and floral sprays in shades of ivory, cobalt, sapphire, and muted brown, arranged in a rhythmic yet naturalistic manner. A central medallion, rendered in striking blues and anchored by an ornate floral wreath, adds a dignified focal point and reflects the Chinese tradition of symmetry and balance. The border structure showcases multiple frames, including a pronounced fret (meander) design in coral and navy blue, enclosing an outer band of golden ochre adorned with elaborate corner spandrels and auspicious emblems. These motifs not only enhance the visual depth but also carry auspicious meaning—often symbolizing harmony, longevity, and prosperity in Chinese decorative arts. Crafted using hand-knotted wool, the rug boasts a velvety pile and impressive durability. Despite its age, the colors remain resonant and the condition is stable, with natural age-related patina that contributes to its antique charm. The weaving technique and design place it firmly in the tradition of Ningxia or early Beijing workshop rugs, known for their fine knotting and refined compositions. This antique Chinese rug is more than just a floor covering—it is a historical artifact, ideal for collectors, connoisseurs, or designers seeking an authentic, texturally rich foundation piece. Whether placed in a traditional interior or used as a contrasting element in a modern space, it offers a sophisticated blend of art and heritage. 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.
