About the Item

Antique Chinese Rug Size: 12'4" × 15'9" (375 × 480 cm) Exemplifying the elegance of late Qing Dynasty textile artistry, this exquisite antique Chinese rug from the 1880s is a celebration of balance, symbolism, and fine craftsmanship. Rendered in a serene and refreshing palette of ivory, cobalt blue, and soft beige, the piece emanates tranquility while offering a wealth of traditional Chinese motifs. The rug’s spacious field features a harmonious scattering of auspicious symbols including bats (for happiness), butterflies (symbolizing joy and summer), and florals such as peonies and lotus blossoms—emblems of prosperity and purity. These motifs are thoughtfully spaced across the open ground, lending a rhythmic yet airy character to the composition. Framing the central design is a series of striking borders. The primary border showcases stylized zoomorphic and floral patterns in classic Ming-inspired symmetry, depicted in rich navy and soft camel tones. An inner stripe featuring bold ivory dots against a marine-blue ground acts as a visual separator while enhancing the rug’s decorative structure. Woven entirely by hand using high-grade wool, the pile is supple yet durable, retaining its luster and vibrancy even after more than a century. The use of natural dyes gives the colors a subtle depth and variation, enhancing the rug’s antique patina. This antique Chinese carpet is not merely a floor covering—it is a piece of cultural history. Ideal for both traditional and modern interiors, it brings with it a timeless aura of refinement and symbolic richness. 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.
