Antique Chinese - Art Deco Medium Wool Ivory Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptionally decorative piece captures the essence of the 1920s, blending traditional Chinese iconography with the bold, simplified aesthetic of the Art Deco movement. The characteristic open field and naturalistic floral sprays define the enduring appeal of Chinese Art Deco. The expansive central field, described as an ivory Rug in its original classification, displays a soft, patinated mauve hue today, providing a dramatic contrast to the saturated, wide magenta border. Scattered across this field are delicate arrangements of peonies, chrysanthemums, and butterflies, rendered in a complementary palette of pale blues, yellows, and deep rose. These elements are hallmarks of the finest Chinese rugs produced during the early Republic era.
