1920s Chinese Art Deco Carpet ( 9' x 11'6" - 275 x 350 )
Chinese Art Deco Carpet, circa 1920 – 9' x 11'6"
An exquisite Chinese Art Deco carpet from the 1920s, featuring a bold claret red field framed by a soft grey border. The composition includes asymmetrical floral sprays, blossoming branches, bamboo clusters, vases, lanterns, and a phoenix — each chosen for its symbolic meaning.
Phoenix: a Chinese emblem of rebirth, grace, and renewal
Bamboo: resilience, strength, and flexibility
Flowers: prosperity, harmony, and natural beauty
Lanterns and vases: abundance, peace, and illumination
Executed in a vibrant palette of blues, yellows, purples, and greens, this piece reflects the fusion of tradition and modernism that defined the Art Deco movement in China. The open red ground creates a dramatic backdrop for the symbolic motifs, giving the design a modernist elegance while retaining cultural richness.
