About the Item

Not all Art Deco Chinese carpets are restrained or Minimalist. Nine colorful dragons fiercely writhe on a brisk red field among flaming pearls and cloud knots. A rainbow wave pattern bounds the action within a gold main band with rosettes, and arabesques. The effect of this 1920s Tianjin Deco carpet is energetic and active. This 1920s Chinese Art Deco Dragon Carpet is an exceptional example of early 20th-century artistry from the renowned weaving centers of China. The carpet showcases a bold claret ground, filled with five-clawed imperial dragons in vibrant shades of turquoise, gold, and sapphire blue, surrounded by auspicious clouds and flaming pearls—symbols of power, prosperity, and celestial balance. The apricot-toned border is beautifully decorated with floral motifs and intricate fretwork, lending an added layer of refinement. Woven in soft, high-quality wool with a dense hand-knotted pile, this carpet captures both the mysticism and the exuberant creativity of the Art Deco era. Its striking palette and iconic dragon imagery make it ideal as a statement piece for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking a historic and visually commanding work of textile art. Whether displayed in a grand living room, dining room, or as an impressive focal point in a commercial space, this carpet embodies the rich cultural heritage and timeless appeal of Chinese Art Deco design.
