Antique Art Deco Chinese Floral, Medallion Blue Navy, Ivory Beige Cream White 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco carpet, woven during the height of the Republican Era, showcases a striking contrast between its saturated field and the delicate motifs. The deep, rich navy serves as a dramatic backdrop, highlighting the beauty of blue color rugs in sophisticated interiors.
The design is characterized by an elegant open field surrounding a magnificent central medallion, densely populated with stylized peonies and foliage rendered in soft ivory, beige, and gold tones. Traditional Chinese symbols, including vases of auspicious flowers and stylized phoenixes, are symmetrically dispersed across the dark ground, reflecting the transitional aesthetic of these antique rugs.
A wide, luminous border frames the composition, utilizing a vibrant mustard gold that complements the ivory tones within the field. This border is intricately detailed with continuous floral sprays and an inner guard border featuring a classic Greek key pattern, providing structure and definition to the overall design. The plush wool pile is characteristic of the quality weaving standards of the period.
Measuring generously, this carpet functions perfectly as a room size rug, capable of anchoring a formal dining room or a grand salon. Its bold color scheme and timeless Art Deco sensibility ensure that this piece remains a powerful statement of early 20th-century design, offering both historical value and immediate visual impact.
