About the Item
Vintage Chinese Rug
Size: 10'10" × 15'3" (330 × 464 cm).
Minimalist in palette yet deeply expressive in detail, this vintage Chinese rug from the 1950s represents a mid-century reinterpretation of classical Chinese textile aesthetics. Woven in a restrained taupe-brown monochrome, the rug’s visual impact emerges through its use of texture and tone-on-tone patterning rather than vibrant color.
The field is subtly decorated with a low-relief design of scrolling vines and stylized lotus blossoms, rendered in slightly contrasting pile heights that create a velvety shadow effect across the surface. This almost ghostly patterning appears and disappears depending on the light and angle of view, giving the piece a dynamic, ephemeral quality. The monochromatic design evokes traditional Chinese motifs with a modern sensibility—balanced, contemplative, and serene.
The rug's edges are framed by a wide border that continues the tone-on-tone floral theme. The uniform coloration and gentle sheen of the wool create a sense of depth and softness, making this carpet a harmonious addition to contemporary or transitional interiors.
Crafted during the mid-20th century—a period marked by a fusion of tradition and innovation in Chinese decorative arts—this rug is an elegant example of how subtlety can be powerful. Ideal for grounding a sophisticated space without overpowering it, this piece offers timeless appeal through its refined craftsmanship and quiet beauty.
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.
