This vintage Chinese rug, circa 1960, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind carpet distinguished by an apricot field of precisely repeated blue-gray cloud-scroll medallions and small floral lattice motifs. A bold navy Greek-key border frames the orderly all-over design, giving the large-scale rug a refined balance of traditional Chinese ornament and graphic mid-century appeal. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining area, or bedroom.
Muted warm tones of apricot, navy, ivory, blue gray, peach, camel, and taupe, with a apricot field.
Chinese rugs represent a weaving tradition distinct from all others in the Oriental rug world. Drawing on Chinese artistic traditions — Buddhism, Taoism, imperial symbolism — rather than Persian or Central Asian models, they feature motifs such as dragons, phoenixes, cloud bands, bats (symbols of good fortune), peony blossoms, and medallion compositions derived from architectural ceilings.
Antique Chinese rugs from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are often woven on a thick, lustrous pile with a sculptural carved effect around principal motifs. Their palette tends toward soft gold, blue, ivory, and terracotta. Early twentieth-century Art Deco Chinese rugs, produced for Western markets, are among the most celebrated designs of that era.
