A striking antique golden-yellow Chinese Art Deco, hand-knotted in wool in China around 1920. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases a scenic pictorial across a golden-yellow palette, and measures 3'0" x 5'0". 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 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. 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.
