Antique Chinese Chinese - Art Deco Ivory 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional oval Art Deco carpet represents the pinnacle of early 20th-century Chinese weaving, combining traditional craftsmanship with the streamlined aesthetics of the Jazz Age. Its unusual shape and sophisticated color palette distinguish it among antique rugs of the period. The expansive central field is rendered in a luminous, soft ivory and beige tone, providing a serene canvas that maximizes light and space. This minimalist approach, typical of the Art Deco movement, is framed by a broad, richly saturated border in deep plum and lavender, creating a striking visual contrast that defines the rug's elegant silhouette. Decoration is concentrated subtly at the lower edge, where stylized clusters of irises and flowering stalks emerge.
