Antique Chinese Walter Nichols Art Deco Allover Floral Hand Knotted Coral Pile Rug

Antique Chinese Art Deco Allover Floral Hand Knotted Coral Pile Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1930s. This spectacular example of the Chinese Art Deco style captures the visual exuberance of the early 20th century. The field is dominated by a saturated, deep magenta or fuchsia hue, providing a dramatic, almost theatrical backdrop for the scattered floral sprays. The dynamic contrast between the deep field and the stylized, naturalistic bouquets is arresting. Each cluster of blossoms is rendered in soft, painterly shades of ivory, pale green, and delicate coral, creating a striking sense of three-dimensionality against the flat ground. A subtle, tone-on-tone carving technique enhances the visual texture of the design, adding depth without cluttering the composition.
