1920's Burgundy Chinese Art Deco Carpet with Traditional Style
About the Item
77450 Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug, 08'08 x 11'05. Rich in poetic symbolism and imbued with the spirit of serenity, this hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug emerges as a timeless tableau of elegance and reflection. Against a deep burgundy field that evokes the majesty of imperial robes, a delicate interplay of floral motifs cascades across the composition with lyrical grace. Blossoming sprays of chrysanthemums, lotus flowers, plum blossoms, and peonies meander across the rug’s surface, freely breaking the boundary between field and border—an intentional gesture of abundance and uncontainable beauty. Each bloom is more than an ornament; it is a lyrical stanza in a visual poem about the cyclical nature of life, each one representing a different season and virtue in traditional Chinese culture.
The plum blossom, with its fearless bloom in winter’s chill, stands for resilience and inner strength, a tenacious bloom born from hardship. The peony, lush and opulent, exalts the glories of spring and symbolizes wealth, prosperity, and feminine beauty. The lotus, floating untouched through the murky waters of summer, proclaims the ideals of spiritual purity and renewal. Autumn’s chrysanthemum, favored by scholars and poets alike, whispers of quiet wisdom, longevity, and a graceful descent into introspection. Together, this quartet of florals forms a botanical mandala of the Four Seasons, guiding the viewer through the natural order of existence with both delicacy and dignity.
Nestled in the lower corners of the rug’s field are two masterful vignettes—pictorial renderings of tranquil garden scenes, rendered in pastel hues and poised with harmonious symmetry. On one side, a tiered pagoda rises amid lotus-filled waters and a graceful willow tree, suggesting a retreat of reflection and contemplation. On the opposite end, a traditional pavilion rests beneath blooming branches and floating clouds, conjuring the peace and shelter of an earthly paradise. A resplendent urn filled with florals sits serenely at the bottom, radiating abundance and serving as a traditional symbol of harmony and containment. These garden scenes are not merely decorative; they encapsulate a Confucian ideal—where one finds balance and fulfillment through communion with nature and the cultivation of inner peace.
Framing this vision is a sumptuous indigo border, the color of nightfall and meditation, adorned with further sprays of florals that seem to drift like petals upon the wind. Delicate ruyi clouds hover near the top—auspicious emblems of wish fulfillment—while butterflies and curving vines lend rhythm and movement to the stillness. Altogether, the composition weaves together themes of natural order, cultivated beauty, and spiritual resonance. With its elegant palette, painterly composition, and depth of cultural meaning, this antique Chinese Art Deco rug transcends decoration to become a meditation in wool, a Jazz Age jewel that continues to bloom in timeless splendor.
Rendered in variegated shades of burgundy, maroon, navy blue, ink blue, amethyst, purple, mauve, rose, verdigris, lavender, dark green, sage, peach, taupe, and violet with other accent colors.
