Antique Chinese – Art Deco Chinese Coral 1925 Rug, Circa Date: 1925. This exceptional piece perfectly captures the transitional aesthetic of the early 20th century, blending traditional Chinese scrolling designs with the emerging Art Deco sensibility. It stands as a prime example within our collection of antique rugs.
The palette is remarkably sophisticated, utilizing a deep, saturated black guard border to frame a field dominated by a lush, vibrant coral pink color. This warm hue is beautifully balanced by soft, muted tones of powder blue and cream, creating a visual depth that is both striking and serene. The careful selection of dyes emphasizes the luxurious quality of the wool.
The intricate design features an elaborate central medallion set against an open ivory ground, surrounded by a dense network of stylized vines and blossoms. The curvilinear nature of these floral rugs demonstrates the high level of weaving skill required to execute such a complex, layered composition, typical of the finest Art Deco production from China.
Designed to command attention, this substantial textile offers the scale required for major interior spaces. Its generous dimensions classify it as one of our preferred room size rugs, offering unparalleled decorative impact and historical resonance for a discerning collector seeking a statement piece from the Art Deco era.
