Antique Chinese Dragonfly Art Deco Ivory 1925 Rug, Circa Date: 1925. This exquisite piece captures the height of the Art Deco movement in China, characterized by simplified forms and elegant color contrasts. The Round shape is particularly rare among antique rugs of this period, making it a unique collector's item that transcends typical rectangular formats. The central field is rendered in a luminous, lightly striated tone, placing it firmly within the category of ivory color rugs. This expansive neutral ground provides a sophisticated backdrop for the stylized botanical elements, while contrasting sharply with the deep, saturated maroon border that creates a dramatic visual frame typical of 1920s design aesthetics. The central medallion features an elegant, asymmetrical arrangement of lotus blossoms and pads, symbols of purity and enlightenment in Chinese culture.
