About the Item

Vintage 1930s Chinese Art Deco Wool Rug Size: 3'0" × 4'9" (91 × 144 cm) A striking example of early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco design, this handwoven wool rug from the 1930s effortlessly blends modernist aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship. The composition radiates a sense of movement and energy, centered on a bold, asymmetrical geometric motif that sets this piece apart from conventional Deco rugs. The rug’s primary field is a warm, muted terra cotta hue that provides a grounding backdrop for its abstract design. A dynamic diagonal band—comprising undulating, ribbon-like lines in shades of golden beige, amber, ochre, and burgundy—cuts across the rug, simulating natural strata or rippling topography. This organic motion is counterbalanced by a grid of straight-edged linear accents in a deeper plum-brown tone, arranged in interlocking formations that suggest architecture or circuitry. This juxtaposition of fluidity and structure captures the spirit of Chinese Deco's avant-garde fusion of East and West. Crafted in soft, high-quality wool, the pile exhibits a lush, velvety texture that enhances the visual richness of the design. The palette, while subdued, carries an earthy sophistication and is emblematic of the transitional Art Deco period in China—where traditional symbolism gave way to more abstract, modern interpretations. Perfect for interiors seeking a piece of visual intrigue, this rare rug brings both historical resonance and stylistic versatility. Whether placed in a minimalist loft or a richly layered space, it offers a refined statement of artistic heritage and design innovation. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
