Antique Chinese – Art Deco Large Room Size Wool Ivory Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of Chinese Art Deco weaving exemplifies the transitional style that bridged traditional Eastern motifs with modern Western sensibilities during the early 20th century.
The expansive field is rendered in a soft, luminous tone, placing it among desirable ivory color rugs. This deliberate use of negative space is a hallmark of the period, allowing the rich texture of the wool pile to convey depth and sophistication, perfectly suited for a grand interior requiring room size rugs.
A striking contrast is achieved by the deep, saturated indigo border, which frames the central panel dramatically. Along the corners and edges, delicate floral sprays and meandering vines introduce vibrant accents of pink, pale blue, and gold, providing a subtle counterpoint to the rug’s overall restraint.
Woven in the 1920s, this piece represents the pinnacle of early 20th-century Chinese rugs, demonstrating the technical mastery and artistic innovation of the era. It is a highly sought-after collectible within the world of antique rugs.
