About the Item

Vintage 1920s Chinese Art Deco Rug Doris Leslie Blau Size: 9'5" × 9'5" (287 × 287 cm) This striking 1920s Chinese Art Deco rug is a beautiful testament to early 20th-century Chinese textile artistry, blending traditional symbolism with a bold and modernist aesthetic characteristic of the Art Deco movement. Its unique square format (10' x 10') immediately distinguishes it from more conventional rectangular rugs, offering versatile styling options for both classic and contemporary interiors. The field of the rug is adorned with a fascinating fragmented lattice pattern—composed of overlapping diagonal and angular planes in varying earthy tones of taupe, camel, cinnamon, and rose-beige. Scattered within this cubist-like mosaic are floating botanical sprays and abstract floral clusters in pale peach, dusty blue, ivory, and navy. These motifs appear suspended in motion, lending the piece an almost kinetic quality that reflects both balance and spontaneity. Encircling the richly patterned field is a dynamic triple-border system. The innermost navy band is punctuated with ivory roundels—a nod to traditional Chinese pearl motifs. This is followed by a light celadon guard stripe, and finally a wide outer border woven with an intricate fret or meander pattern in muted rose-beige. This classic Chinese key motif, often associated with longevity and continuity, adds a grounding, architectural frame to the rug’s expressive core. The wool pile is soft yet sturdy, with visible hand-knotting that underscores the rug’s artisanal origin. Faint patina and gentle wear evoke its near-century-long journey while enhancing its vintage character. This Chinese Art Deco rug offers a rare balance between cultural heritage and artistic experimentation. Its subtle palette and abstract florals make it an exceptional centerpiece for curated interiors—equally at home in minimalist settings or alongside antique collections. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
