About the Item

Art Deco Chinese Rug Size: 8'6" × 9'5" (259 × 287 cm) A masterful embodiment of Chinese Art Deco aesthetics, this striking 1930s rug blends traditional symbolism with bold modern minimalism. Its most captivating feature is the richly striated ground—an almost painterly field composed of multicolored vertical brushstroke-like lines. Deep blues, warm rusts, subdued golds, and smoky greens create a complex, textured appearance reminiscent of rain falling through moonlight. Floating within this abstracted background are five circular medallions rendered in deep indigo blue, each filled with delicate botanical compositions in golden saffron and ivory tones. These motifs—likely symbolic of harmony and prosperity—offer a refined counterpoint to the energetic field, anchoring the design with poetic balance. The central medallion is larger and more elaborate, drawing the eye inward, while the four surrounding medallions bring a rhythmic structure to the overall composition. Framed by a narrow, solid navy-blue border, the composition maintains a sense of cohesion and elegant restraint. The rug reflects the Art Deco movement's signature approach: reimagining ancient motifs through a modernist lens. Its minimal ornamentation, strategic use of color, and abstract expression distinguish it from its more ornate predecessors, showcasing a rare blend of Eastern tradition and early 20th-century Western innovation. 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.
