About the Item
79168 Antique Blue Chinese Art Deco Rug, 07'10 x 09'08. In the golden hush of the 1920's, when East met West in a symphony of style and spirit, this hand knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug was born—a woven reverie crafted in the famed looms of Tianjin or Beijing. With its deep indigo blue field, it evokes the velvet hush of twilight skies over Peking’s imperial rooftops, a stillness pierced only by the whisper of silk robes and the distant chime of temple bells. Suspended across this tranquil sea are three circular medallions, blooming like celestial seals—guardians of symmetry, echoing ancient Chinese roundels reimagined through the lens of Art Deco modernism.
Each roundel pulses with auspicious meaning—perhaps dragons guarding the axis of the universe or stylized shou motifs whispering wishes of longevity and peace. Their shapes are edged in waves of burnt orange and terra cotta, symbolic flames dancing in auspicious rhythm, guarding sacred space. The motifs float serenely within the generous open space, a deliberate quietude that speaks to the minimalism of Deco sensibilities and the philosophical void of Eastern metaphysics—a meeting of restraint and intention.
Framing the field is a chorus of radiant borders—bands of slate blue, flame red, golden ochre, and ink blue—layered like ceremonial robes or painted temple thresholds. These contrasting hues echo both imperial courtly palettes and the bold chromatic experiments of the Art Deco movement flourishing across Europe and America. In this border, the linear meets the symbolic, and the spiritual meets the decorative—a modernist reweaving of dynastic heritage.
Time has softened its sheen and left tender traces of history upon its surface: gentle abrash, traces of bygone whispers, and the darkening touch of light and age. But this Art Deco rug remains a masterwork of cultural fusion, a poetic artifact from a time when Chinese weavers translated centuries of symbolism into designs fit for the salons of Shanghai, Paris, and New York. To walk upon it is to step across time—a convergence of East and West, tradition and innovation, silence and splendor.
