Antique Chinese - Art Deco Chinese Purple 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional pair of Art Deco runners exemplifies the bold, modernist aesthetic that defined the 1930s. As a prime example of antique rugs, the design seamlessly blends traditional Chinese motifs—such as stylized floral sprigs—with sharp, Western geometric abstraction. The striking field is dominated by a rich, saturated purple, framed by a contrasting emerald green border. This specific hue provides a dramatic backdrop for the scattered, asymmetrical arrangement of shapes in ochre, pale sage, and blush pink, creating a highly sophisticated and forward-looking color story typical of the period. Rejecting the centralized medallion common in earlier periods, the composition features an energetic, fragmented display of triangles and semicircles floating across the field.
