Elegant Art Deco Chinese Rug by Nichols & Co.

About the Item

During the Art Deco period many designers commissioned their patterns to the city looms located in Tianjin through companies such as Nichols & Company. Some designs, such as this one, show a combination of European sensibility together with a Chinese influence, such as these floral blossoms which delicately embellish the four corners of the oatmeal coloured background. Arranging the pattern by leaving an empty center is a characteristic styleme of the Art Deco period, as it allows to place furnishing at the center without obstructing the beauty of the rug's design. The result is a sturdy weaving with a gamut of highly decorative colours expressing refinement and timeless elegance, surely the ideal backdrop for dining rooms and sofa areas.
