About the Item

Made with hand-knotted wool and originating from China circa 1920-1930, this is a 9x11 rare collectible from the 1920s Chinoiserie style period pieces, and one of our new favorite curations. On the Design: A rich purple underscores an almost open field design, with mirrored floral patterns in colorful tones relegated to the upper right and lower left corners. Keen eyes will further admire the celebrated floral motifs like those in Chinoiserie rugs as well as similar oriental provenances often considered to be of the Chinese Deco aesthetic. Admirers of the craft will appreciate this antique rug’s placement of florals—peonies and cherry blossoms in primarily green, coral and gold tones—which cascade from opposite corners. This asymmetrical arrangement reflects the profound influence of French Art Deco on Shanghai's workshops during the 1920s, when Chinese weavers began moving away from classical symmetrical compositions. What also marks this as a superior example of the 1920s is its sophisticated restraint—the intentional use of negative space allows each botanical element to emerge with clarity. It is in the most exceptional color and a great size suited to wider spaces—as versatile for interior design as it is collectible for admirers of this provenance. Condition: This antique Chinese art deco rug enjoys great condition for its age and origin, and is a rare period piece ready for the floor.
