About the Item

Vintage Chinese Art Deco Rug Size: 8'9" × 11'5" (266 × 347 cm) This captivating vintage Chinese Art Deco rug from the 1950s is a striking example of the fusion between Eastern decorative tradition and Western modernist aesthetics. Woven with precision and artistic flair, the rug embraces the spirit of the Art Deco movement while remaining grounded in the structure and symbolism of Chinese design. The rug features a bold architectural layout composed of tiered rectangular frames, which guide the viewer's eye toward the intricate central medallion. The dominant hues—deep indigo, mulberry wine, and sand—are richly saturated and arranged in a structured yet rhythmic fashion. These hues are masterfully offset by the geometric floral motifs that dot the composition. Stylized blossoms, angular leaves, and abstract stems add delicate contrast to the hard-edged borders, offering both visual softness and thematic continuity. True to the Chinese Deco style, this piece skillfully blends tradition with modernity. The floral elements nod to age-old Chinese symbolism, where flowers often represent renewal, balance, and harmony. However, their presentation here—in block-like, angular forms—reflects the geometric experimentation and linear precision characteristic of Art Deco design. Woven by hand in wool, the rug displays a soft, velvety texture and a luminous sheen, a testament to the craftsmanship of mid-century Chinese weaving ateliers. Its condition remains remarkable for its age, showing careful preservation of its original structure and palette. Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of early modern design, this rug offers a unique opportunity to bring a piece of 20th-century history into a contemporary interior. Its rich coloration, bold geometry, and layered symbolism make it not just a floor covering, but a powerful visual statement. 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.
