Vintage Art Deco Chinese Nichols Rug

AA true masterpiece of early 20th-century textile art, this palace-size Walter Nichols Art Deco Chinese rug is a rare and striking example from the first quarter of the 20th century—now approaching 100 years old and preserved in remarkable condition. The rug features a luxurious camelhair or tan-colored field, a subtle yet warm backdrop that sets the stage for a vibrant interplay of floral motifs in pink, blue, red, and lavender. What makes this piece especially rare is its wide width and near-square proportions—an unusual and highly coveted dimension in antique Chinese rugs. The composition showcases the signature Nichols style: bold, large-scale design elements paired with an imaginative and joyous use of color. The bright, richly colored floral border contrasts beautifully with the soft field, creating an elegant visual balance that feels both grounded and exuberant.
