Oversized Walter Nichols Art Deco Chinese Rug in French Blue, Yellow, Navy, Red
About the Item
A magnificent and oversized example of an early 20th-century Walter Nichols Art Deco Chinese rug—truly one of the most beautiful and iconic rugs ever woven in China. In remarkably well-preserved, “like new” condition, this masterpiece has defied time with minimal wear, an extraordinary rarity for a rug over 100 years old.
The central field features a serene and captivating pagoda design set against a rich blue background. Surrounding the central motif are delicately rendered butterflies and floral bouquets, evoking a sense of grace and harmony. Each corner of the field is adorned with vibrant imagery of birds, butterflies, and flowers, adding layers of narrative and visual interest.
Framing this scene is a bold and luminous yellow border, beautifully decorated with repeating pagoda designs—tying the entire composition together in classic Art Deco fashion with a Chinese cultural flourish.
This rug is a testament to the sophisticated design sensibility of the Walter Nichols studio and a rare opportunity to own a true treasure from China’s golden era of fine hand knotted rugs.

Located in Barrington, IL
A true masterpiece of early 20th-century textile art, this palace-size Walter Nichols Art Deco Chinese rug is a rare and striking example from the first quarter of the 20th century—now approaching 100 years old and preserved in remarkable condition. The rug features a luxurious camelhair or tan-colored field, a subtle yet warm backdrop that sets the stage for a vibrant interplay of floral motifs in pink, blue, red, and lavender.
What makes this piece especially rare is its wide width and near-square proportions—an unusual and highly coveted dimension in antique Chinese rugs.
