Drawn in a novel art deco style, this handsome Chinese carpet features a charming botanical medallion surrounded by lavish borders that contain geometric figures.

Vintage Art Deco Chinese Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1940’s – This majestic Chinese art deco carpet displays an elegant assortment of botanical decorations and streamlined geometric figures that are bold yet wonderfully delicate. The posh ecru field is adorned with a splendid arabesque-style medallion that features feathery leaflets and grandiose chrysanthemums, which display a lovely combination of tourmaline pinks and greens. Sumptuous, soft negative space separates the luxuriant medallion from the formal art deco border, which features billowing ruyi clouds and architectural fretwork compartments highlighted by elegant monochromatic colors. Soft celadon greens and blushing mulberry pinks complement the floral decorations featured in the field and are juxtaposed beautifully by the golden camel browns and soft neutrals. Somber cocoa-brown outer borders conclude the composition and add gravity to the soft neutrals and delicate jewel tones that give this Chinese art deco carpet its sophisticated visage.
