About the Item

1920s Chinese Art Deco Carpet ( 9' x 11'6" - 275 x 350 cm ) The lemony gold field, with a dark blue border, shows a characteristic group of Chinese motives, three different hanging ornaments or lanterns, a slender flower vase on a packet of books, a red vase on stand, wrapped by a smoke-emitting dragon; birds and butterflies; and a gourd flask; along with shaded paeonies, lotuses and other seasonal flowers. The field tone is particularly warm and inviting. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco piece captures the bold aesthetic of the early 20th century, characterized by its striking contrast and open composition. Its generous proportions classify it as a true room size rug, establishing the piece's commanding presence within any sophisticated interior. The palette is defined by the juxtaposition of a brilliant, highly lustrous gold field against a deep, velvety indigo border. This use of contrasting saturated hues is a hallmark of the Art Deco period in China, setting it apart from earlier traditional styles. The magnificent central field places this piece among the most desirable gold color rugs of the era. The design employs an asymmetrical scattering of traditional Chinese iconography. Elegant flowering branches cascade down the sides, interspersed with hanging lanterns, symbolic butterflies, and a stylized dragon motif in the upper corner. These elements are rendered in delicate pastels—pinks, creams, and light blues—providing a subtle counterpoint to the dominant field color and demonstrating the high level of artistry achieved by these weavers. Woven during a period of significant cultural exchange, this rug beautifully blends Eastern traditional motifs with Western Art Deco sensibility. The deep, plush wool pile remains in remarkable condition, offering both visual splendor and tactile luxury. This piece is a superb example of collectible antique rugs from the 1920s, perfectly preserved for the modern connoisseur.
