About the Item

77524, antique Chinese Peking rug with Art Deco style inspired by Walter Nichols. With Jazz Age vibes and Art Deco style, this hand knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug features an elegant central floral medallion dotted with four pairs of butterflies fluttering across the abrashed dark navy blue field. The four flowers intertwined in the motifs are lotuses, peonies, chrysanthemums and plum blossoms, which when appearing together represent the Four Seasons. Each flower carries significant meaning in Chinese culture. The lotus, the flower of summer, symbolizes purity and perfection, since its clean vibrant blooms emerge from the mud of swamps and marshes. Peonies, the flower of spring, represent unparalleled beauty and honor; they have long been regarded as a symbol of wealth. Chrysanthemums, the flower of autumn, are associated with long life and a golden retirement; the dried petals of the flower immersed in wine were once thought to bring longevity to those who drank it. Plum flowers, the flower of winter, represent fortitude and resilience, since the long-lived tree blooms brightly during the cold of winter. Butterflies are thought to represent joy, while a pair represents a wish for longevity. It is enclosed with a floral vase border with a pair of vases in each corner. The florals break across the borders and field, creating a sense of splendor and vitality than cannot be contained. The lavish, sumptuous color palette emanates a sense of exuberance and luxury. With its depth of meaning, gorgeous hues, and intricate detailing, this antique Chinese Peking rug would bring a touch of Jazz Age splendor to any space.
