About the Item
Chinese Art Deco Rug with Dramatic Curvilinear Motif in Coral and Black
Size: 5'7" × 7'8" (170 × 233 cm)
A striking example of mid-20th-century Chinese Art Deco design, this vintage rug from the 1940s epitomizes bold elegance and graphic impact. The composition centers around a strong symmetrical layout, dominated by sinuous black curvilinear forms that sweep across a plush coral-pink field. These dark, baroque-like tendrils form mirrored, ornamental arabesques that radiate from the vertical axis, lending the rug a dramatic visual rhythm.
The negative space created between the black elements is filled with soft, tonal tracery in a slightly deeper coral, adding depth and refinement to the otherwise minimalist color palette. These subtle over-dyed motifs echo traditional Chinese cloud bands and scrolling floral patterns, but are rendered in a modernist Art Deco vocabulary. The border is kept minimal, a solid black framing band that both contains and intensifies the visual power of the interior field.
Woven with fine wool, the rug’s texture is luxuriously dense, emphasizing the richness of the coral hue while allowing the bold lines to maintain their sharp contrast. The absence of figural elements and reliance on abstracted curves reflects a period when Chinese weavers were influenced by both traditional auspicious motifs and Western Art Deco aesthetics, resulting in pieces that are simultaneously culturally rooted and stylistically adventurous.
Ideal for interiors seeking a graphic focal point or an infusion of 20th-century glamour, this Chinese Deco rug is not just a floor covering—it’s a piece of visual theater.
With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
