Antique Chinese - Art Deco Red 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco piece from the 1930s is defined by its dramatic, saturated field. The deep, velvety ground color presents a rich shade of red. This hue provides a luxurious backdrop that immediately captures the eye and grounds the sophisticated floral arrangement. Typical of the finest Art Deco production from China, the design employs a highly stylized yet naturalistic approach. Sprays of peonies, chrysanthemums, and other blossoms trail elegantly across the field, contained only by a subtle, simple golden border line. This asymmetrical composition distinguishes it from traditional medallion designs and highlights the influence of Western modernism on Chinese floral rugs.
