About the Item
Vintage Chinese Art Deco Rug
Size: 3'2" × 6'0" (96 × 182 cm)
A captivating piece from the Chinese Art Deco period, this vintage rug from the 1920s exemplifies the bold yet elegant aesthetic of early 20th-century East Asian design. Woven in a horizontal format rarely seen in Western carpets, this rug balances symmetry, contrast, and floral vitality with refined compositional ease.
The central field is richly adorned with an all-over pattern of large-scale, stylized blossoms, each unfurling with a harmonious symmetry. The flowers—abstracted to near-geometric form—are set against a deep, midnight-blue background that highlights the creamy beige tones of the petals and the subtle powder-blue accents within. Their radial arrangement and rhythmic repetition evoke a sense of floral abundance and order, reminiscent of traditional Chinese symbolism where blossoms represent renewal and harmony.
Framing the floral field is a layered series of minimalist borders. The innermost is a thin dark line that lends visual containment to the composition, followed by a wider band in soft beige with a faint Greek key motif, adding architectural structure and an echo of classical influence. This architectural framing enhances the impact of the highly stylized floral interior without overwhelming it.
The rug is hand-knotted in fine wool, lending it a soft, plush texture and a natural sheen. The use of a limited, elegant color palette—primarily in ivory, navy, and sky blue—reflects the modernist tendencies of the Art Deco period while staying rooted in Chinese artistic traditions.
Perfect as a statement piece for a hallway, entryway, or as wall décor, this vintage Chinese rug brings together timeless elegance with a graphic, modern edge. It is a striking example of how Chinese rug weaving evolved in the 20th century to reflect both cultural continuity and the international design sensibilities of its time.
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.
