About the Item

Breathtakingly beautiful and truly one-of-a-kind, this rare Art Deco Chinese rug from the early 20th century showcases a soft, pastel yellow field adorned with symbolic motifs representing life, happiness, and longevity.

The rug's elegant color palette includes accents in pink, navy blue, baby blue, and soft gray, offering a delicate and uplifting aesthetic. A standout feature is the dual-border design: The inner border features a refined lattice pattern. The outer border is decorated with graceful scrolling lines in coordinated pastel tones—pink, gray, blue, and yellow all framed by an eye-catching light red border that beautifully contains the central field crafted during the 1920s Art Deco era, this rug remains in very good condition with a full, lush pile—a rarity for pieces of this age. These Chinese Art Deco rugs have become increasingly desirable among collectors, designers, and decorators for their unique blend of traditional Chinese motifs and modern, minimalist sensibility.

Oversized Chinese Peking Rug in Pale Yellow with Lion Dogs & Cloud Wreaths Motif
Located in Barrington, IL
A truly beautiful and rare oversized Chinese Peking rug from the late 19th century, this piece features a serene and distinctive pale yellow field with a minimalist open design. At the center lies a striking large medallion, adorned with Fu lion dogs (Foo dogs)—symbols of protection and power—surrounded by elegant cloud wreath motifs, symbolizing peace and celestial harmony. This rug’s composition and style bear a strong resemblance to the revered Ningxia carpets, which originated in the historic Ningxia region—a “wool town” located in north-central China, bordering Gansu and Inner Mongolia. Ningxia rugs have a long history dating back to the 17th century, crafted for use in mandarin residences and aristocratic homes across imperial China. The combination of its open design, soft color palette, and cultural symbolism makes this rug a rare and valuable example of Chinese textile artistry from the Qing Dynasty period. Whether used as a statement floor piece or a wall-hung textile, this antique rug brings a sense of quiet elegance, historical richness, and timeless sophistication to any interior.
