A striking antique green Chinese Art Deco, hand-knotted in wool in China around 1920. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases a modern / modernist design across a green palette, and measures 5'0" x 8'0". 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. As a large scatter size it will accent a living or dining room, framing a seating group or sitting comfortably under a small table. The greens bring a natural, calming note that pairs well with creams, terracotta and rattan. Hand-knotted from durable wool, it is made to be lived with and handed down.
