Antique Chinese - Art Deco Purple 1925 Rug, Circa Date: 1925. This exceptional piece captures the bold, transitional style of 1920s Chinese weaving, merging traditional imperial symbolism with the streamlined geometry of the Art Deco movement. The saturated field color, a rich purple hue, provides a dramatic backdrop for the mythological figures, placing it among the most striking purple color rugs of the era. The composition is dominated by powerful dragons—the revered symbol of imperial authority and good fortune. A pair of dragons coil within the central medallion, while others occupy the corners. These majestic figures are surrounded by scattered cloud and stylized floral rugs motifs, softening the intensity of the purple field and adding layers of symbolic complexity.
