A striking antique green and red Chinese Art Deco, hand-knotted in wool in China around 1920. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases a floral composition across a green and red palette, and measures 2'0" x 2'0". 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., all in a small accent piece. As a smaller scatter size, it makes a perfect accent for an entryway, reading nook or bedside - and layers beautifully over a larger rug or natural fiber. The greens bring a natural, calming note that pairs well with creams, terracotta and rattan.
