Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug in Cream and Red with Cloud Patterns Rug & Kilim

About the Item

Made with hand-knotted wool circa 1910-1920, this 6x9 antique Chinese Art Deco rug is an exciting new collectible and rare period piece in Rug & Kilim's Collection. Its design is believed to reflect the rich history of Pao Tu rugs (sometimes spelled Baotou)—a region known for its exceptional works stretching back to the early Qing dynasty. On the Design: While many Pao Tou rugs were known to favor Indigo and similar tones, this is clearly a piece that draws influence from those designs with its own warm colors—a field of cream, with several borders in beige-brown and a particularly bright, delicious tangerine red. Its field enjoys intricate clouds and medallions surrounded by animals—namely bat motifs, a symbol of good fortune in Chinese mythology, and an extremely rare and collectible design element seldom seen in this period today. The many intricate borders surrounding enjoy a wide range of geometric patterns, from trefoils and Greek keys to lotus medallions and more. Keen eyes will appreciate the variety of these iconic motifs in the all over pattern, while designers will also admire the smart balance of such regal designs with a comfortable, livable repeat. Admirers of the craft will recognize this as a truly special period piece, teeming with rich history and culture, and a gorgeous, elegant piece for the most special spaces today. Condition: This antique Chinese rug further enjoys good condition, with mild wear consistent with its age and origin.

Handmade Kilim Rugs, Antique Wool Jajim, Striped Red Cream Wool Textile
Located in Wembley, GB
A practical variation on the flat-weave Kilim, this Caucasian coverlet, or jajim, features a bold, inherently versatile pattern of multi-width stripes perfectly suited for Mid-Century Modern interiors. Ochre and umber stripes with narrow outlines decorate the fiery cinnabar ground while creating a stylish and sophisticated pattern yet totally understated. These graphic stripes, which would be equally at home in a western design repertoire, still manage to retain their rustic sensibilities. Hidden variations give the seemingly balanced stripes an inconspicuous asymmetric repeat. Pinstripe accents in neutral hues of white and walnut brown emphasise the boldly banded stripes and offset the high-chroma ground. Like many of the most sought-after tribal textiles, this Caucasian Jajim has natural modernity and a Minimalist aesthetic imbued with ethnographic qualities that enliven modern interiors. This piece is in great condition, ready for use in any home interior. Handmade Kilim rugs, antique wool Jajim...

Art Deco Rug Hand Knotted in Style of Chinese Antique Design
Located in Lohr, Bavaria, DE
An Art Deco Zebra design rug, contemporary production, in style of antique Chinese rugs, hand knotted, using finest Tibetan highland wool. Very fine wool and quality. Current production, other sizes can be made on order. A real eye catcher. The zebra pattern on this rug is based on a design from the 1920s. In the Art Deco era, "animal" patterns were very popular. At various auction houses, including Sotheby's London and Lyon & Turnbull Glasgow, the designs for these pieces from the 1920s were assigned to the English architect Oliver Hill (1887 - 1968), who is said to have had such carpets made in Tiensin in North China for Nichols of London. Unfortunately we cannot find any evidence of this. We produce these carpets as a new edition in the classic size of 200 x 120 cm / 7 x 4 ft. Other formats are also possible on request. Design: Zebra Art Deco...
