Antique Chinese Art Deco Floral Rug with Navy Field and Rose Border, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920 – A midnight-blue field sets off an exuberant garden of flowers in pink, cream, apricot, and soft yellow. Bamboo leaves and flowering branches extend across the field and over its rose-red border, giving this circa 1920 Chinese Art Deco rug a lively, layered composition. Near the top, a flower-filled vessel becomes a quiet focal point amid the blossoms.
The contrast between the dark center and brilliant border makes the rug especially effective in a room: from a distance, it reads as a confident pairing of blue and red; up close, the individual flowers, leaves, and vessels come into view. Its floral imagery and expressive color show why Chinese Art Deco rugs remain so appealing to decorators.
At 9 ft × 11 ft 6 in, it can anchor a living room or bedroom while providing several colors to draw into the furnishings. Cream upholstery would bring out the flowers; dark wood or lacquer would deepen the effect of the blue ground.
