About the Item

1920s Chinese Art Deco Carpet by Nichols Workshop (8'10'' x 11'6'' - 270 x 350) This exceptional Chinese export piece is a powerful example of early 20th-century weaving, blending traditional imperial iconography with the plush, thick pile favored by the Western market. The commanding field is rendered in a saturated, deep indigo blue, providing a dramatic, almost nocturnal backdrop for the mythological figures. Crafted with a luxurious hand-knotted wool pile, the rug features a monumental design dominated by five intricately detailed dragons—symbols of power, fortune, and the Emperor. I While the dragons are the central focus, the composition is softened by stylized cloud bands and vibrant accent colors—pinks, greens, and ochres—that surround the central medallion and frame the corners. These elements, though secondary to the mythical beasts, provide the necessary contrast often seen in floral rugs of the era, ensuring visual balance and complexity.
