Vintage Chinese Deco Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1930’s – Here is an intriguing antique Oriental rug – an antique Art Deco carpet, woven in China during the 1930’s. Wonderfully modern in overall composition, this Chinese Art Deco rug is an excellent example of the style. Beginning in the early decades of the twentieth century, there was a sudden increase in demand for antique Oriental rugs and carpets in the western world. In response to this rapidly growing demands, Chinese rug makers began to weave rugs and carpets with European and American clientele in mind. The result of this shift is on full display in this delightful Chinese carpet, the straightforward and minimalist design of which is decidedly modern. At the same time, however, it does a remarkable job of conveying important Chinese notions of aesthetic perfection; its minimally adorned surface, broken up into three portions, is a lovely example of the sort of restrained and balance composition that characterizes the most representative Chinese art.
