Antique Jewel-Tone Blue Chinese Art Deco Rug with Modern Style

About the Item

77231 Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug, 08'09 x 11'06. Woven during a golden era of cross-cultural aesthetics, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug is a masterpiece of sumptuous symbolism and East-meets-West design innovation. Radiating refined elegance and timeless allure, the enchanting composition unfolds in a luxurious arrangement of color-blocked panels and borders, where jewel-toned plum, sapphire, and rose mingle with soft neutrals and gold-washed hues. Against this opulent backdrop, an orchestra of florals and ethereal butterflies blossoms with painterly grace, their forms imbued with centuries of cultural meaning. Here, iconic motifs become a poetic language, whispering of joy, transformation, and the eternal rhythms of nature. With meticulous attention to detail and an exceptional sense of balance, the rug’s design is anchored by four regal botanicals: lotus, peony, chrysanthemum, and plum blossom—each a floral ambassador of the seasons. The lotus, symbol of purity and high summer, blooms beside the lush springtime peony, long revered as the "king of flowers" and a coveted emblem of prestige and beauty. Autumn is serenaded by golden chrysanthemums, icons of wise aging and refined elegance, while winter is crowned with the resilient plum blossom, whose delicate blooms defy the cold to represent fortitude, grace, and poetic endurance. These seasonal symbols flow beyond the traditional boundaries of field and frame, a visual metaphor for boundless creativity and transcendent design. The surrounding border serves not as a rigid enclosure but as an immersive frame of serenity, adorned with scrollwork vines, auspicious foliage, and fluttering butterflies—symbols of happiness, prosperity, and romantic freedom. In the lower corner, a solitary vase—a revered symbol of eternal harmony and balance—grounds the composition with its quiet strength. This floral fantasia, simultaneously structured and spontaneous, exudes the majestic serenity of Chinese garden design, inviting its viewer into a sanctuary where color, culture, and craftsmanship converge in spellbinding harmony. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool with a soft, luminous sheen, this magnificent Art Deco treasure is more than a decorative statement—it is a bespoke embodiment of artistic legacy. Its graceful minimalism and maximalist motifs make it a versatile heirloom, equally suited for a stately drawing room, a curated gallery space, or a sophisticated retreat inspired by East Asian elegance and Parisian glamour. With its vibrant palette, storied motifs, and seamless fusion of traditional symbolism and modern expression, the rug reflects the spirit of a moment when Chinese artistry captivated the world stage. To walk upon this antique Chinese Art Deco rug is to tread the delicate path between worlds—between old and new, East and West, permanence and transformation. It is a rare and precious jewel of textile design, a celebration of artisanship, cultural heritage, and aesthetic daring. As both a visual and emotional centerpiece, it transforms interiors into realms of poetic refinement, making it an unparalleled acquisition for the connoisseur who seeks not just luxury, but legacy. Rendered in variegated shades of indigo, royal blue, true blue, sapphire, navy blue, mulberry, eggplant, purple, lavender, plum, mauve, peach, salmon, gold, ocher, saffron, sky blue, rose, pink, pistachio, olive, beige, ivory, red, and gray with other accent colors.
