A striking antique golden-yellow Chinese Art Deco, hand-knotted in wool in China around 1920. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases a floral composition across a golden-yellow palette, and measures 9’0″ x 12’0″.
Chinese Art Deco rugs emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, when weavers in Tianjin – most famously in the workshops associated with Walter Nichols – paired traditional Chinese craft with the bold, asymmetrical, modern aesthetic of the Art Deco movement. The result is a distinctive look: spacious fields, oversized blossoms and a fresh, painterly use of color.
At a true room size it will anchor a living or dining room, framing a seating group or sitting comfortably under a dining table. Its warm golds add instant brightness to neutral and wood-toned interiors. Hand-knotted from durable wool, it is made to be lived with and handed down.
