Hallway Runner Rugs (2.08ft x 17.04ft), Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the unique aesthetic of Chinese Art Deco rugs, blending traditional pictorial elements with the streamlined, open compositions favored during the Jazz Age. The runner format suggests it was commissioned for a grand hallway or reception area. The field is dominated by a vibrant, saturated shade of yellow, a daring choice that provides a luminous backdrop for the sparse, narrative design. The figures and scattered blossoms are rendered in rich tones of indigo, plum, and burgundy, sharply delineated against the sunny ground. This palette is distinctly modern while retaining the deep color saturation characteristic of fine Chinese rugs.
