1920s Chinese Art Deco Carpet ( 9'6" x 13'2" - 290 x 402 )
Antique Art Deco Chinese Allover Floral Blue 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional antique rug exemplifies the stylistic fusion popular in early 20th-century Chinese weaving, combining traditional motifs with the bold, streamlined aesthetic of Art Deco. The deep indigo field provides a rich, saturated backdrop for the highly decorative border.
The central field features a subtle, tone-on-tone allover vine pattern, adding textural depth without overwhelming the eye. This masterful use of a rich, saturated navy places it among the finest examples of blue color rugs from the period, offering a dramatic foundation for any sophisticated interior design scheme.
A striking border in contrasting golden yellow and ochre frames the composition, featuring highly stylized floral cartouches and scrolling foliage. The design is meticulously rendered, showcasing the technical proficiency of the Chinese weavers who adapted Western design sensibilities while maintaining their unique cultural signature.
With its commanding presence and impressive scale, this piece functions perfectly as a room size rug, anchoring a formal living area or dining space. Its historical provenance and remarkable preservation make it a significant acquisition for collectors seeking authentic Art Deco textiles of the highest caliber.
