About the Item
1920s Chinese Art Deco Carpet ( 8'2" x 9'8" - 248 x 295 )
Red / Rust 1920s Antique Wool Hand Knotted Pile Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This remarkable piece exemplifies the finest execution of early 20th-century Chinese weaving, blending traditional motifs with the open field aesthetics popular in the Art Deco era. As a genuine example of antique rugs, its wool pile retains a beautiful luster and depth, showcasing the meticulous hand-knotting technique.
The expansive field is dominated by a deeply saturated, almost cinnabar hue, placing it firmly within the category of rust red color rugs. This intense background provides a dramatic canvas for the scattered, naturalistic iconography. The coloration is rich yet subtly variegated, a hallmark of high-quality dyes used during this period, contributing to the rug's overall visual warmth.
Delicate sprays of flowering branches, majestic peonies, and stylized birds in flight are rendered in soft creams, pale blues, and sage greens. These elements are dispersed gracefully across the field, avoiding a central medallion structure and instead creating a dynamic, asymmetrical composition that feels both traditional and strikingly modern.
Woven with exceptional skill, this rectangle rug offers substantial coverage, making it an ideal selection among room size rugs intended for formal living areas or grand dining rooms. Its enduring visual appeal and durable wool construction ensure that this 1920s masterpiece remains a functional work of art for generations to come.

Chinese Art Deco Carpet, circa 1920 – 9' x 11'6"
An exquisite Chinese Art Deco carpet from the 1920s, featuring a bold claret red field framed by a soft grey border. The composition includes asymmetrical floral sprays, blossoming branches, bamboo clusters, vases, lanterns, and a phoenix — each chosen for its symbolic meaning.
Phoenix: a Chinese emblem of rebirth, grace, and renewal
Bamboo: resilience, strength, and flexibility
Flowers: prosperity, harmony, and natural beauty
Lanterns and vases: abundance, peace, and illumination
Executed in a vibrant palette of blues, yellows, purples, and greens, this piece reflects the fusion of tradition and modernism that defined the Art Deco movement in China. The open red ground creates a dramatic backdrop for the symbolic motifs, giving the design a modernist elegance while retaining cultural richness.
