Red Field And Teal Border Antique Art Deco Chinese Rug

Antique Art Deco Chinese Allover Floral Red 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco carpet exemplifies the bold aesthetic shift of the 1920s, moving away from traditional muted palettes toward striking, saturated color combinations. Its presence confirms its status among the finest antique rugs of the period. The primary field is dominated by a rich, velvety red color, a daring choice that was highly fashionable in the Western markets this style was designed for. Against this deep red ground, an allover design of meandering vines, stylized blossoms, and symbolic hanging ornaments creates visual depth and movement, typical of the era's simplified Chinoiserie motifs. A dramatic contrast is achieved through the wide, solid border rendered in a cool, saturated seafoam green.
