Antique Art Deco Chinese Rug with Abstract Design by Nichols & Co.
About the Item
Only a very limited group of the carpets, woven during the thirties at the Tianjin city looms in northern China, are decorated by geometric patterns typical of the Art Deco period. The large majority of Tianjin rugs of the period typically have a floral pattern in strong, contrasting colours, arranged around an open field. Some of the rare geometric pieces are known to be designed by artists such as Betty Joel, who would then commission the weaving to American companies based in China such as Nichols & Co. These sturdy, hardwearing carpets are now highly appreciated for their abstract compositions and are extremely well suited in 20th century design interiors.
On this superb example in excellent condition, the field pattern is composed by rays of contrasting shades running across opposite corners, connecting quarter-circle motifs. This style first appears on rugs designed by Sonia Delaunay and is characterised by abstract motifs suggestive of lunar landscapes or by irregular shapes whose surfaces convey a marbled and spotted effect, the latter clearly influenced by Robert Delaunay's theory of 'Simultaneism'.
