Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug in Gray with Colorful Florals, from Rug & Kilim

About the Item

Hand-knotted in wool and originating from China circa 1920-1930, this 8x10 antique Chinese Art Deco rug is a rare collectible from the 1920s Chinoiserie style period pieces, and one of our new favorite curations. On the Design: A charcoal gray and black field underscores an architectural border in amber gold tones, with floral patterns in the same tones beside beige-brown and aubergine purple. Admirers of the craft will appreciate this play of some of the most fabulous colors, exemplary of the departures from traditional styles that Art Deco rugs were known for in the Nichols and Fette halcyon days, yet unexpected even in these one-of-a-kind pieces. Among the many floral patterns and pictorials, the field enjoys two floating butterfly motifs—often a symbol of change, though widely believed to symbolize marital bliss in Chinese history—just above a series of branches and floral patterns growing off a roof. Condition: This antique rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—another uncommon find in its provenance for both designers and collectors alike.

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.
