About the Item
77454 Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug, 08'08 x 11'06. Steeped in tradition and imbued with an undeniable elegance, this hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug is a magnificent tableau of floral symbolism and artistic refinement. Its striking color-blocked composition, with a rich red burgundy field framed by a deep green border, evokes the splendor of a classical Chinese garden in full bloom. The floral motifs, gracefully unfurling across the surface, are more than mere decoration—they tell a story of nature’s cycles, renewal, and prosperity. The golden inner border serves as a delicate transition between the central composition and the vibrant outer frame, accentuating the depth and movement of the flourishing blossoms.
A mesmerizing array of flowers—lotuses, peonies, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms—intertwine with lush foliage, creating a captivating sense of vitality and abundance. This harmonious convergence of floral elements symbolizes the Four Seasons, with each bloom carrying profound cultural significance. The lotus, representing summer, emerges unblemished from murky waters, embodying purity and spiritual awakening. Peonies, the quintessential emblem of spring, are synonymous with beauty, honor, and affluence, long revered as the "king of flowers" in Chinese culture. Chrysanthemums, symbols of autumn, denote longevity and wisdom, once believed to bestow a long and prosperous life upon those who partook in their petals steeped in wine. Plum blossoms, resilient and steadfast, flourish in the harshness of winter, signifying endurance and perseverance.
Beyond their seasonal representation, the flowers are woven with an energy that transcends time, flourishing with an almost uncontainable exuberance as they spill across the borders, a hallmark of the Art Deco aesthetic that characterized the rugs of 1920s and 1930s China. The juxtaposition of structured geometric framing with the organic, flowing floral motifs creates an exquisite balance between tradition and modernity, making this Chinese Art Deco rug a true testament to the artistic innovation of the era. The exquisite interplay of warm and cool tones enhances its rich visual appeal, while the meticulous hand-knotting speaks to the enduring craftsmanship behind this masterpiece.
With its depth of meaning, refined artistry, and enchanting presence, this antique Chinese Art Deco rug is more than a decorative piece—it is a work of cultural storytelling that bridges history and design. Whether gracing the floors of an opulent parlor or serving as a statement of heritage in a contemporary setting, this extraordinary woven wonder radiates timeless beauty, sophistication, and an essence of the past that continues to inspire.
Rendered in variegated shades of maroon, burgundy, hunter green, emerald, wine, dark green, gold, brass, purple, pistachio, orange, cerulean, and taupe with other accent colors.
