About the Item

78303 Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug, 08'02 x 09'05. This magnificent hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug transports viewers to a bygone era of exquisite artistry and vibrant symbolism. The Chinese Art Deco rug features a striking color-blocked field and border, harmoniously adorned with glorious sprays of flowers that evoke a sense of unbridled vitality. Drawing from traditional Chinese artistry and the stylistic influences of the Jazz Age, this piece creates an interplay between bold colors and intricate floral designs. It resonates with timeless elegance and historical richness, perfect for any discerning collector or interior space seeking sophistication and depth. At the heart of this stunning Chinese Art Deco rug, clusters of lotuses, peonies, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms bloom in captivating splendor. Each flower carries a distinct symbolism deeply rooted in Chinese culture. The lotus, revered as the flower of summer, signifies purity and perfection, thriving even in murky waters. Peonies, symbols of spring, denote honor, beauty, and wealth—traditionally cherished as the “king of flowers.” Chrysanthemums, representing autumn, embody longevity and a fulfilling retirement, while plum blossoms, associated with winter, reflect resilience and the enduring spirit, blooming brightly amidst harsh cold. The ensemble of the four flowers is used to represent the Four Seasons, while each of the flowers carries its own meaning in Chinese culture. Framing this floral wonder are intricate vine-like motifs that swirl and dance across the rug’s surface, creating a sense of dynamic motion and life. Nestled within opposite corners are cloisonné vases, each an emblem of peace and tranquility. These vases, elegantly rendered, serve as guardians of beauty, preserving the floral splendor within their embrace. The placement of these vases is more than decorative; it invites contemplation on harmony and balance, themes central to Chinese philosophy and design aesthetics. The Chinese Art Deco rug’s luxurious texture and remarkable craftsmanship reflect the skill and dedication of its weavers, who imbued each knot with cultural meaning and artistry. From its radiant field and rich borders to the intricate detailing of each flower and vase, this antique Chinese Art Deco rug captures the essence of historical artistry with a touch of modern flair. It is a piece that tells a story of resilience, beauty, and enduring cultural heritage, making it an unforgettable addition to nearly any space.

The Moonlit Garden: An Antique Chinese Art Deco Masterpiece of Celestial Grace
By Walter Nichols
Located in Dallas, TX
77452 Rare Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug, 08'11 x 11'06. Like a moonlit garden glimpsed through twilight, this hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug unfurls with dreamlike elegance and profound symbolic depth. Its celestial navy field glows like an endless night sky, setting the stage for a lyrical interplay of blossoms and birds drifting in graceful harmony. A rich red inner border adds warmth and contrast, embracing the nocturne tableau, while the overall asymmetrical yet balanced composition reflects the golden age of Shanghai Art Deco in the 1920s and 1930s, where classical Chinese motifs converged with the bold palettes and refined modernist lines of the era. From corner to corner, signature blossoms bloom in exquisite profusion, each carrying timeless meaning. Plum blossoms, peonies, lotuses, and chrysanthemums — the revered Four Gentlemen — unfold as symbols of the seasons and of human virtues: resilience, honor, purity, and longevity. The plum blossom’s delicate blooms rise defiantly in winter; the peony bursts forth in spring with opulent promise of wealth; the lotus lifts itself unsullied from summer waters; and the chrysanthemum radiates autumn’s golden serenity. Interspersed among them, vines and berries weave arabesques across the surface, suggesting both divine order and organic freedom, a duality at the heart of Chinese art. At the crown, a luminous lantern descends, radiating festivity and guiding light. Across the field, songbirds flit with wings outstretched, symbols of transcendence and spiritual freedom. Along the lower border, a pair of mandarin ducks rests among reeds and water lilies — eternal emblems of fidelity and marital harmony. These painterly creatures, poised in mid-flight or repose, are not mere decoration but custodians of deeper meaning, enriching this exquisite work of art with layers of cultural resonance and quiet storytelling. The taupe outer border completes the exclusive masterpiece, scattered with blossoms and sprigs, its softened tones evoking a garden wall kissed with ivy...
