About the Item

79326 Rare Vintage Chinese Art Deco Rug, 07'07 x 09'09. In a celebration of life’s eternal cycle and the sublime harmony between heaven and earth, this hand-knotted wool vintage Chinese Art Deco rug unveils an exquisite Tree of Life design, interpreted through the opulent lens of early 20th-century Shanghai Deco style. An extraordinary fusion of symbolic richness and tailored elegance, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece transforms tradition into transcendent art, offering not just a rug but a story of cosmic balance woven in sumptuous wool. Rooted in sacred Chinese symbolism and elevated by the exuberance of Art Deco aesthetics, this piece stands as a paragon of exclusivity—an irreplaceable expression of status, heritage, and refined taste. At the heart of this bespoke treasure, an intricately rendered flowering tree unfurls from a classical vessel, its trunk rising in graceful symmetry across the rich crimson field. Each branch blossoms with painterly peonies, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms—sacred emblems in Chinese visual philosophy. The signature peony, long revered as the “king of flowers,” connotes nobility, beauty, and wealth. The plum blossom speaks of perseverance and rebirth, blooming even in winter’s chill. Together, they breathe spiritual life into the tree, evoking a timeless journey from earthly roots to celestial bloom. The exclusive design is framed with an ornate cartouche-like border in imperial gold, bearing stylized clouds, foliate scrolls, and auspicious vase motifs—symbols of peace (ping), prosperity, and the transcendence of earthly suffering. This iconic Tree of Life rendering transcends mere decoration; it becomes a visual meditation on harmony, lineage, and spiritual vitality. Unlike its Persian or Mughal counterparts, this version radiates a distinctively Eastern elegance—minimal in form yet maximal in presence—reflecting a uniquely Chinese worldview steeped in Taoist ideals and Confucian refinement. The jewel-tone palette—resplendent in ruby red, jade green, lapis blue, and orchid pink—resonates with imperial prestige and bespoke Art Deco chic. With each precious thread hand-knotted by master artisans, this exquisite work of art preserves not just artisanal excellence but cultural memory, making it both a decorative heirloom and a vessel of moral and aesthetic philosophy. As a legacy piece, this rare Chinese Art Deco Tree of Life rug invites its collector to embrace a deeper narrative—one of renewal, balance, and interconnectedness. It speaks to the elite connoisseur who values not only visual beauty but also symbolic depth and social good. By preserving such a work, one becomes a steward of cultural heritage—ensuring that the wisdom encoded in wool, color, and design continues to whisper its truth into the homes of the future. Perfect for gallery-style interiors, heritage estates, or luxury hospitality spaces, this rug is more than décor—it is a living manuscript of elegance and meaning. Abrash. Hand knotted wool.
