Antique Chinese Chinese Ivory 1930s Ivory Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional piece, originating from Chinese rugs, represents a specific, highly figurative weaving tradition from the early 20th century. Its unusual, elongated form suggests a specialized function, possibly as a decorative hanging or a ceremonial textile, distinguishing it immediately from standard room-sized carpets. The striking visual contrast is achieved through a plush, luminous ivory field, which serves as a pristine canvas for the bold, stylized motifs rendered in deep indigo and navy blue. This choice of a light background was highly fashionable during the Art Deco period, yet the execution of the figures retains a distinctly traditional, almost archaic, character.
