About the Item

1920s Chinese Art Deco Carpet by Walter Nichols ( 11'2" x 15'4" - 340 x 467 ) This exceptional piece exemplifies the bold aesthetic of Chinese Art Deco, characterized by its dramatic use of negative space and highly saturated color. The hand-knotted wool construction speaks to the enduring quality of antique rugs from this period, offering a plush, velvety texture underfoot. The monumental field is dominated by a shimmering, deep saffron tone, creating a magnificent surface that captures light beautifully. This vibrant use of gold yellow orange color is offset by a stark, narrow border of midnight blue, framing the composition with precise definition and emphasizing the rug's architectural quality. Traditional Chinese landscape motifs are rendered with a distinctly modern sensibility. Stylized branches, cascading rock formations in muted greens and grays, and simplified cloud bands float across the expansive field. The asymmetry and sparse placement of these elements are characteristic of the Art Deco movement's departure from dense, traditional patterning. Measuring generously, this large oversized big rug is perfectly suited for a grand salon or dining space where its scale can truly command attention. Such pieces, combining luxurious pile with the refined, graphic style of the 1920s, are increasingly rare and sought after by discerning collectors of early 20th-century decorative arts.
