Antique Chinese - Art Deco Floral Blue 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This striking example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving perfectly captures the streamlined elegance of the Art Deco era. The design embraces minimalism, featuring a vast, saturated deep blue field that allows the few decorative elements to truly stand out. The composition is defined by two primary accents: a vibrant floral spray anchored in the lower right corner, and a stylized longevity symbol (Shou) in the upper left. These pieces represent a distinct shift in the market for antique rugs, blending Eastern iconography with Western modernism. The flowers, rendered in rich tones of orange, gold, and dusty rose, exhibit the bold, graphic quality characteristic of Chinese Art Deco pieces from this period.
