Antique Chinese Deco Rug, Origin: China, Circa: Early 20th Century – Here is an exciting and appealing antique Oriental carpet – an antique Art Deco rug that was designed and woven in China during the early years of the twentieth century. Heavily informed by the aesthetic inclinations of the Art Deco period, this unique carpet is a compelling and thought-provoking example. A scalloped Purple encloses a Light Green sand field on this exquisitely subtle and restrained antique Chinese Art Deco. At first the field appears empty or open, but it is actually covered by a tone-on-tone design of scrolls and cloud-bands emanating inward from the outer edges. In their sinuous rhythms they echo the scalloped forms of the border and continue its visual effects across the carpet in a more subdued manner. This carpet testifies to the masterful design sensibilities of Chinese weavers as they made the transition into the modern world. The Art Deco movement had an outside influence on the world of art and design, and some of the most important qualities and characteristics of that movement may be found in this fine rug.

Being over 100 years old. this artisan antique masterpiece, made in, is truly a part of history. Hand-knotted using natural materials and vegetable dyes is the reason by it able to withstand so much over so long, growing more and more beautiful with age. A unique patina of wear over the years makes it truly one of a kind, meant to be enjoyed for many more years. As with all our rugs, this rug has been professionally cleaned, though some slight discoloration may still exist. Being handmade the rug may not be perfectly rectangular, or evenly straight throughout the rug.

The distinct lack of symmetry present in this antique rug creates a much more natural arrangement. From the way that the colors are set together to the abstract patterns of the foliage, everything about the hooked rug seems to be organic and inviting. Beautiful lilies of pink, red and buttermilk line down vertically along the center of the piece, framed by a rich maroon background that seems to stand out as lines of dirt more than any solid framework. Around these primary flowers are smaller, blossoming perennials that draw the viewer’s attention to the finer details.
