About the Item

Made with hand-knotted wool circa 1920, this 12x23 antique Chinese Art Deco rug is among the absolute most unique, rare collectibles and treasured finds of the period—a one-of-a-kind design from the style in color and scale in particular, marking an iconic new masterpiece in Rug Kilim’s curations of the Jazz Age movement. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will note a piece of this incredible large size and distinguished design was likely commissioned as a custom piece for a very special project—an exemplary find from the pinnacle of luxury weaving in China’s Republican period, blending the grandeur of Eastern heritage with the bold spirit of Western modernism.This magnificent rug exemplifies the sophisticated cultural synthesis that defines superior Chinese Deco production from the early 20th century. The field is a deep midnight black "infinite void," serving as a dramatic canvas for a lush, all-over pattern of flowering cherry blossom branches. Emerging like calligraphic brushstrokes suspended in space, the gnarled branches and delicate ivory-beige petals are positioned with a painterly precision that transforms the textile medium into a work of abstract art. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the extraordinary naturalistic accuracy achieved through graduated tonal rendering—each blossom and stem is articulated with botanical precision while maintaining the geometric simplification fundamental to Art Deco aesthetics. This piece represents a unique moment when Eastern artisans embraced Western avant-garde principles while maintaining cultural authenticity through traditional symbolism; here, the cherry blossom serves as a poetic emblem of renewal and fleeting beauty. In luxury residential applications, this rug’s oversized scale makes it a premier selection for grand ballrooms or palatial living rooms where its artistic merit can be fully appreciated. The contrast of the dark field against the shimmering floral sprays ensures a lasting relevance among collectors of early 20th-century decorative arts and modernist textiles. Condition: This antique Chinese Deco rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, following meticulous restoration by our in-house master weaver—a gorgeous and revitalized collectible with vast design applications.
