Hand-knotted in wool and originating from China circa 1920-1930, this 8x10 antique Chinese Art Deco rug is a rare collectible from the 1920s Chinoiserie style period pieces, and one of our new favorite curations.
On the Design:
A charcoal gray and black field underscores an architectural border in amber gold tones, with floral patterns in the same tones beside beige-brown and aubergine purple. Admirers of the craft will appreciate this play of some of the most fabulous colors, exemplary of the departures from traditional styles that Art Deco rugs were known for in the Nichols and Fette halcyon days, yet unexpected even in these one-of-a-kind pieces. Among the many floral patterns and pictorials, the field enjoys two floating butterfly motifs—often a symbol of change, though widely believed to symbolize marital bliss in Chinese history—just above a series of branches and floral patterns growing off a roof.
Condition:
This antique rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—another uncommon find in its provenance for both designers and collectors alike. less
