Antique Chinese Nichols Carpet, Gold, Blue, Green, Navy Carpet Handmade Wool Rug

About the Item

This is an early 20th-century Nichols Chinese carpet, characterized by its vibrant color palette and intricate design elements. The carpet showcases a striking golden-yellow field adorned with elegant floral motifs, including stylized vases with blooming flowers connected by swirling green vines. The central medallion features traditional Chinese symbols, possibly representing prosperity or longevity, rendered in bold red and surrounded by harmonious geometric patterns. The border is richly detailed with interconnected knot designs and various square panels containing Chinese characters and symbolic imagery, contributing to a balanced and symmetrical composition. The contrasting hues of navy blue, soft pink, and teal add depth and dimension, reflecting the influence of Art Deco aesthetics popular during the era. This piece exemplifies the craftsmanship and cultural fusion characteristic of Walter Nichols’ designs, which were known for blending traditional Chinese themes with Western tastes. The rug’s thick, plush pile and meticulous hand-knotted construction indicate its high quality and durability, making it not only a decorative masterpiece but also a functional work of art.
