Antique Chinese - Art Deco Chinese Floral Ivory 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving perfectly captures the transition from traditional designs to the bold aesthetic of Art Deco. It stands as a significant piece among antique rugs from the Republican period, known for their innovative use of color and form. The composition centers on a luminous, elongated medallion field rendered in a rich, golden-ivory tone, providing a striking contrast to the deep, near-black ground of the outer border. This sophisticated use of negative space and light hue is highly sought after in ivory color rugs of this vintage, offering unparalleled versatility in contemporary interiors. Stylized floral sprays—including peonies and chrysanthemums—trail along the interior frame, executed in vibrant hues of saffron, lavender, and crimson.
