About the Item

Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug Size: 5'0" × 9'7" (152 × 292 cm) This elegant and serene antique Chinese Art Deco rug, woven in the 1920s, offers a rare glimpse into the refined aesthetic sensibilities of early 20th-century China. Characterized by its minimalistic composition and delicate decorative elements, this rug speaks to a sophisticated blend of traditional Chinese symbolism and the emerging Art Deco style of the era. At first glance, the rug’s soft, parchment-like beige field radiates warmth and tranquility. The restrained palette features gentle hues of celadon, pale blue, muted ochre, and faded teal, which contribute to its understated elegance. The composition is defined by a spacious open field framed with a subtly embellished border that gently introduces pattern and form without overwhelming the viewer. The border features an assortment of classical Chinese motifs including stylized peonies, flowering branches, and circular medallions—symbols traditionally associated with harmony, prosperity, and longevity. Scattered butterflies and cloud motifs add a touch of whimsical movement, while a discreet swastika—a sacred ancient symbol representing good fortune—can be seen at one end, reflecting traditional Chinese iconography long predating its later misuse. Notably, the rug is devoid of a central medallion, enhancing its tranquil emptiness and making it a versatile decorative piece suitable for both modern and traditional interiors. The delicate drawing and careful spacing of the motifs speak to the mastery of Chinese weavers who were adept at balancing minimalism with meaningful ornamentation. Woven by hand from high-quality wool, the rug retains a dense yet supple texture that testifies to its fine craftsmanship. Despite its age, the design remains clear, and the natural dyes have mellowed beautifully over time, contributing to a gracefully aged patina. This 1920s Chinese rug is not merely a floor covering, but a piece of cultural history—a harmonious blend of symbolism, artistry, and subtle sophistication that brings a sense of peace and refinement to any space. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
