About the Item
79167 Antique Green Chinese Art Deco Rug, 08'06 x 11'04. Emerging from the height of East–West cultural exchange, this hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug is a rare treasure that embodies both cosmopolitan sophistication and artistic daring. Woven during the early 20th century, this exceptional masterpiece is a hallmark of the celebrated Art Deco era, when Shanghai workshops reimagined traditional Chinese symbolism through the lens of modernist design. Its luminous jade-green field provides a serene backdrop, interrupted only by a dramatic vase of blossoms, while the sumptuous border blooms with radiant flowers in ruby, saffron, violet, and gold—a veritable garden woven in wool.
The extraordinary design carries deep symbolic resonance. The vase, an emblem of peace and harmony, anchors the composition, while the abundant blossoms represent renewal, prosperity, and enduring beauty. Together, these motifs transcend ornament to embody a philosophy of balance, abundance, and cultivated elegance. To acquire such an exquisite work of art is to claim not merely a decorative object, but a woven manifesto of cultural synthesis—where East meets West in an artistic dialogue that still captivates collectors and connoisseurs a century later.
Visually striking, the rug’s palette reveals the genius of natural dyes aged to perfection. The emerald ground shimmers with depth, while the jewel-toned florals seem to dance across its surface with painterly flair. The contrast between the bold, modernist composition and the timeless symbolism grants this cherished textile an extraordinary versatility: it can anchor a penthouse salon with chic sophistication, soften the grandeur of a country estate, or lend worldliness to a curated gallery interior. Its scarcity and condition elevate it into a league of true investment-grade works of art.
More than a possession, this antique Chinese Art Deco rug represents a commitment to cultural stewardship and social good. By acquiring and preserving such a piece, one honors the artisans who bridged tradition and innovation, sustaining legacies that might otherwise be lost. It is an heirloom of prestige, an object that asserts status through both beauty and meaning—a woven jewel destined to enrich not just the space it inhabits, but the cultural narrative of its collector’s life.
