Chinese Art Deco Rug
China, early to mid 20th century
Hand knotted wool
340 × 310 cm
A substantial early Chinese Art Deco rug with a deep cobalt field framed by a soft ivory border carrying floral and symbolic vessel motifs. At the centre, a finely drawn phoenix sits within an unusually open composition, a defining characteristic of early Chinese Deco weaving.
The saturated blue field shows gentle tonal variation and softened wear across the surface, giving the rug depth and movement. Its near square proportions create a strong architectural presence, particularly suited to larger living or dining spaces.
An early hand knotted example with scale, atmosphere and the softened palette that defines many of the best Chinese Deco rugs of the period.
