Antique Art Deco Room Size Wool Blue, Multicolor Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional weaving represents the pinnacle of early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco production, blending traditional imperial motifs with the bold, graphic sensibilities of the modern era. Such pieces are highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs due to their unique aesthetic fusion and superb quality. The dramatic central field is rendered in a saturated, deep indigo blue color, overlaid with a dense, swirling cloud pattern (Ruyi motif). A magnificent, golden-hued imperial dragon dominates the sky, descending toward a lower register of stylized, undulating waves rendered in rich ochre and tan tones, suggesting a powerful scene of celestial descent.
