About the Item
79268 Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug, 09'02 x 11'05. An unparalleled expression of whimsical elegance and cultural depth, this hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug is a rare and captivating masterpiece—a tailored expression of East-meets-Deco design reserved for the most discerning collector. With its luminous café-au-lait field encased in a midnight blue border, the rug unfolds as an immersive canvas of celestial serenity and curated symbolism. The blush pink inner border gently frames a composition both tranquil and commanding, invoking the timeless sophistication of early 20th-century Shanghai salons and the elite interiors of Art Deco-era metropolises.
Each signature motif is meticulously arranged with impeccable attention to detail, creating a layered story rich with symbolic prestige. In the upper right corner, a flowering prunus tree—symbol of resilience and rebirth—gracefully bends toward a classical Chinese pagoda, representing harmony and scholarly retreat. Delicate floral sprays of peonies and chrysanthemums bloom with coveted beauty, each petal speaking to prosperity, longevity, and nobility. A solitary phoenix graces the left, its flowing plumage rendered in lapis and rose—a mythical creature emblematic of virtue, grace, and feminine power. This mythical bird imbues this magnificent work of art with a sense of timeless enchantment and quiet majesty.
Centrally placed, a dark circular medallion floats like a moon at rest—its yin-yang-like form evoking cosmic balance and spiritual unity. The blue border serves not merely as a frame but as a narrative threshold, where incense burners, coral branches, scholar’s rocks, and auspicious vessels whisper of domestic tranquility and literati refinement. Each vignette is more than decoration—it is a heritage tale woven in silk-soft wool, a celebration of harmony between man, nature, and the cosmos. This is an exceptional rug that doesn't just adorn a room—it bestows status, meaning, and intention with every thread.
To possess this exquisite piece is to steward a piece of cultural history, one that brings with it not only the aesthetic gravitas of a lost era but also a commitment to the social good of preserving traditional artisanship. Its one-of-a-kind composition speaks to unparalleled exclusivity—the kind of rarity that transforms a space into a curated sanctuary of taste, intellect, and quiet opulence. Whether grounding a Parisian drawing room, a high-rise study, or an avant-garde gallery, this precious treasure offers an invitation into a dreamlike world where art and spirit entwine in luxurious permanence.
