$10,373.00

Antique Art Deco Chinese Floral Purple / Lavender / Mauve, Red 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the transitional period of Chinese weaving, where traditional motifs were reinterpreted through the lens of Western Art Deco design. The result is a sophisticated and highly decorative textile, sought after by collectors of antique rugs. The palette is daringly modern for its time, featuring a central field of shimmering taupe-mauve that provides a dramatic backdrop for the sprawling, naturalistic vine work. The use of soft, complex hues, particularly the subtle integration of purple, lavender, mauve tones, defines its unique character, contrasting sharply with the vibrant, saturated red border.
