Small Antique Early 20th Century Blue Chinese Art Deco Carpet

This early 20th-century calming antique Chinese rug is a jewel-like example of the "East-meets-West" aesthetic that revolutionized interior design during the 1920s and 30s. Produced in the renowned workshops of Tientsin or Beijing, this small-format specimen (likely a hearth or small scatter size rug) captures the high-glamour, modernist spirit of the Jazz Age in a compact and versatile size. The composition is defined by its Asymmetrical Minimalist design. Eschewing the traditional central medallions of the previous century, the Art Deco style favored a bold, "painterly" approach. This piece likely features a stylized floral spray or a singular botanical motif—such as a peony or a lotus—nestled into a corner or along the edge.
