Fine Chinese Art Deco Nichols Carpet
About the Item
Pioneered by Walter Nichols, an American in China whose workshops were active from 1924 into the 1930s, Chinese Art Deco carpets represent a real high point in the history of 20th Century design. These pieces are highly sought after, standing out for their unique combination of traditional Chinese elements, alongside design motifs borrowed from the Art Deco movement, which dominated the decorative arts of America and Europe during the period.
This example features a rare saffron colour field, playfully contrasted with the cornflower blue tones in its floral design - a restrained palette, well suited to this piece's open, well-balanced composition.
Retained in excellent condition for everyday use, with its borders preserved on all four sides.
A true design classic, which would make a fine addition to any interior.

- Fine Early 20th Century Tibetan CarpetLocated in London, GBA unique and elegant Tibetan carpet in a rare room-size format - likely commissioned at the time for a member of the nobility, as most Tibetan pieces of the period were woven in a small rug format. The blue field provides a great contrast to the striking design, with each drawing in the central field is creatively repeated in various colour compositions, is framed by a simple red border. The charming array of hues in the palette are all vegetable-dyed. Rug weaving in Tibet stretches back hundreds if not thousands of years, though experienced a real renaissance in the early 20th Century, brought by the greater access to rich dyes, and a greater diversity in these carpets designs, combining traditional Tibetan motifs with elements borrowed from Chinese weavings...Category
