Art deco: Cascade of flowers on bright orange field and emerald green border

About the Item

From its elegance and unusual style, one can recognize this splendid Chinese carpet from the Art Deco period. The wool is shiny and silky, spun thicker than ordinary Chinese wool. This type of carpet originated around the 1920s on the initiative of Walter Nichols, an American merchant who, having moved to China, opened a manufacture of carpets in 1924, designed for the American market, which, while retaining some classical Chinese decorations, were characterized by their decidedly innovative style. These carpets born out of the encounter between a distinctly Chinese style and the new art of interior design, so much in vogue in the West, are characterized by a renewed color taste that dares color combinations never before proposed. Cascades of flowers on a plain background with bold tones are the main feature of this production. In our carpet the united background of a provocative deep orange is combined with a bright green band, cascades of flowers of all colors decorate the field.
