About the Item
A luminous Chinese Art Deco rug from the 1920s–30s, hand-knotted with a striking palette of deep indigo, lavender, and soft blush. A bold rectangular navy field anchors the design, surrounded by a wide dusty rose border and punctuated by asymmetrical floral motifs, cascading vines, and a traditional Chinese vase—all rendered in soft pastel tones with subtle shading. The composition is both spare and expressive, emblematic of the Chinese Art Deco movement that flourished in cities like Shanghai during the early 20th century.
Chinese Art Deco played a vital role in shaping the global Art Deco style, merging traditional Chinese iconography with Western design principles: symmetry, geometry, and modernist abstraction. These rugs, in particular, offered a new visual language—simplified yet opulent, grounded in centuries of craft but eager to modernize. This example captures that balance beautifully, with rich color, graceful ornament, and a sense of quiet luxury that still feels fresh nearly a century later.
