About the Item

Title: Timeless Elegance: A Handmade Art Deco Chinese Wool Carpet from the 1920s Introduction: Step into a world of exquisite craftsmanship and rich cultural history with this Antique Handmade Art Deco Chinese wool carpet, a true masterpiece dating back to the 1920s. Measuring an impressive 9' x 11'8", this carpet is not just a floor covering but a breathtaking work of art. Signed by its skilled creator, it boasts a captivating gold background with a reddish-purple border, inviting you to explore its intricate details and historical significance. Capturing Manchurian Style: Immerse yourself in the allure of the Manchurian style evident in this carpet, a nod to the invaders who shaped the last Dynasty in China. The color palette, with its over-saturation of gold, reflects the preferences of this influential group, creating a stunning contrast to the traditional Han Chinese style found in black & white Shanshui Painting. The royal yellow, once reserved for the elite, adds an extra layer of opulence to this captivating piece. A Tapestry of History: Crafted in China during the 1910s or 1920s, this Art Deco carpet carries the legacy of Walter Nichols, a prominent American rug producer based in Tientsin. While Nichols didn't originate the Art Deco rugs, he played a vital role in their production. The wool used in this carpet, paired with bold, vibrant colors, showcases pictorial scenes featuring trees, birds, clouds, mountains, dragons, butterflies, and flowers. Western Influences on Eastern Art: The production of Art Deco rugs, spanning from the 1910s to the 1950s, was heavily influenced by Western aesthetics. This fusion of East and West resulted in a unique blend of styles, with this carpet standing as a testament to the harmonious coalescence of diverse influences. Meticulously Preserved: Beyond its visual allure, this Art Deco carpet is in excellent condition, a testament to its meticulous care and professional cleaning. Each thread preserves not only the craftsmanship of its creator but also the history and cultural amalgamation that defines its era. Conclusion: Owning this Antique Handmade Art Deco Chinese wool carpet is like possessing a piece of living history—a canvas that tells the tale of cultural exchange, artistic evolution, and the timeless beauty of expert craftsmanship. Embrace the allure of a bygone era with this captivating carpet, where every step is a journey through the corridors of time and creativity.
