Antique Chinese Walter Nichols Art Deco / Art Nouveau Room Size Wool Rug

Antique Chinese - Art Deco Room Size Wool Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1925. This magnificent example of early 20th-century weaving showcases the distinctive aesthetic of Chinese rugs from this period. Its substantial dimensions qualify it as a highly desirable room size format. The rug features a deep teal or sea-green field, providing a dramatic backdrop for the stylized central motif. The design is characteristic of the Chinese Art Deco movement, which favored open space and bold, contrasting colors over traditional dense patterning. The central oval medallion is framed by a rich, looping border of ivory and crimson. Within the central medallion and along the outer border, the composition is dominated by delicate, swirling vines and large, stylized blossoms reminiscent of the Art Nouveau Movement.
