Art Deco Chinese Rug with Abstract Pattern

About the Item

The painterly effect obtained by mixing varying proportions of ivory and colored wools is peculiar to this family of northern Chinese weavings. As most of these were sourced directly in China one is led to think that they weren’t intended as export items but rather to satisfy a local commission. These are almost always woven in small formats, sometimes embellished by longevity ideograms or other auspicious symbols. One is left to wonder what could have inspired the weavers to come up with something so intrinsically abstract and modern.
