About the Item
Mid-20th century Art Deco Chinese rug
Size: 6'0" × 9'0" (182 × 274 cm)
This captivating Chinese Art Deco rug from the 1950s is a striking example of mid-century Eastern design tailored for Western tastes. It is hand-knotted in wool, showcasing the signature creativity and boldness of the Art Deco movement as interpreted in China during that era.
The rug’s visual impact begins with its dynamic field, where overlapping maple-leaf motifs in varying shades of jade and sage green create a rhythmic, almost three-dimensional texture. These leaves are subtly outlined in beige and emerald, lending depth and vibrancy to the pattern.
Encasing this field is a wide parchment-hued border that softens the visual weight of the green center while serving as a canvas for an exuberant display of florals and decorative red ribbons. The flowers—rendered in bright pinks, deep burgundies, blues, and purples—dance around the border, interwoven with trailing vines and foliage. The scarlet ribbons meander gracefully through the design, their curves adding motion and whimsical charm.
The rug’s composition expertly balances symmetry with spontaneity. Each corner of the border boasts a floral spray, while the red ribbons unify the perimeter with a continuous flow. Despite its decorative intricacy, the design avoids clutter through careful spacing and tonal harmony.
Crafted in a time when Chinese weavers were embracing Western aesthetics, this rug represents a cultural hybrid—Art Deco’s geometric elegance meeting Chinese artistry in botanical form. The plush wool pile, soft sheen, and fine detailing highlight the rug’s quality and enduring craftsmanship.
This piece is ideal for collectors of vintage or transitional design, offering a vibrant yet refined accent that evokes the charm of 20th-century glamour with timeless decorative appeal.
Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
