About the Item

Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug – A Whisper of Subtle Grandeur (Size Adjusted) Size: 13'0" × 25'0" (396 × 762 cm) This exquisite 1920s Chinese Art Deco rug is a masterclass in subtlety and sophisticated design, embodying the elegant minimalism characteristic of the era. Woven in a warm golden beige field, the rug appears nearly monochromatic at first glance—its soft tone-on-tone floral and fretwork motifs gently emerging as light plays across the surface. The quiet elegance of the field is contrasted by a richly decorative border rendered in soft lavender, celadon green, and pale turquoise, depicting stylized dragons, scrolling vines, and Chinese fret motifs. Despite its restrained palette, the rug’s detail is remarkable. The central area features a low-relief damask-like pattern, woven with such nuance that it appears to shift with the viewer’s perspective. A wide outer border frames the field with Chinese dragon iconography and blooming lotus blossoms—symbols of strength, transformation, and purity. These border elements provide a subtle yet vital layer of visual interest, connecting the rug to traditional Chinese symbolism while keeping the overall aesthetic modern and sophisticated. Woven entirely by hand, this rug reflects the peak of Chinese craftsmanship during a time when East met West in the realm of interior design. The Art Deco influence is evident in its balance of simplicity and ornamentation, making it a perfect piece for a range of interiors—from classic and transitional to contemporary and eclectic. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
