About the Item
78990 Antique Green Chinese Art Deco Oval Rug, 02'07 x 04'05. Exuding aristocratic charm and evocative elegance, this hand-knotted wool Chinese Art Deco oval rug is a sublime representation of East-meets-West decorative opulence from the early 20th century. Its lush celadon green field radiates an understated serenity while offering the ideal canvas for the baroque-inspired floral cartouches that encircle its form. The restrained symmetry of the design paired with its opulent curvature reflects the era's cosmopolitan glamour—where Shanghai's roaring Art Deco boom intersected with centuries-old Chinese symbolism. Framed in graceful scrollwork and classical vases overflowing with peony blooms, this piece whispers the sophistication of a bygone elite, designed not merely to decorate a space, but to command it.
At each end of this exclusive composition, magnificent amphora-like vessels burst with stylized flowers—an homage to both abundance and rebirth. The soft, powdery rose, carnation, apricot, and lavender hues dance through the floral sprays, invoking the prosperity and harmony long revered in Chinese cultural iconography. These signature blooms are not merely decorative—they are emblematic of status, of refined taste, and of life's most treasured virtues. The bouquets emerge from architectural scroll pedestals, reflecting the blend of Chinese ornamentation with Western rococo aesthetics that defined the era's most sought-after interiors. This rug, like a collector’s painting, transcends its functional roots to become a cherished treasure with layered meaning and luxurious tactility.
The gentle contrast between the seafoam-toned border and the deeper celadon green field amplifies its visual texture, while the scalloped motifs that ripple along the edges suggest a sense of perpetual motion—timeless, fluid, and poetic. Created during a period when Chinese artisans were producing exclusive works for elite export markets and Hollywood's most celebrated homes, this rug is a relic of global design diplomacy and artistic innovation. In the language of luxury, its rarity is its currency. Few rugs of this oval form and pastel-toned palette have survived with such vibrant integrity, making it not just a furnishing, but a coveted heirloom of great cultural resonance.
To possess an exceptional masterpiece such as this is to inherit a lineage of beauty, craftsmanship, and symbolic intention. It is a commitment to supporting the legacy of hand artistry, cultural storytelling, and sustainable luxury. In a world increasingly driven by the ephemeral, this exquisite work of art offers an invitation to permanence—to ground oneself in history, meaning, and refinement. Whether gracing a formal salon, a gallery-like entryway, or an inspired private sanctuary, this Chinese Art Deco treasure becomes a conversation of heritage and prestige woven beneath your feet.
