78990 Antique Green Chinese Art Deco Oval Rug, 02'07 x 04'05.

This exquisite hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug is a captivating example of the elegance and craftsmanship of early 20th-century Chinese rug-making. Drawing inspiration from the famed work of Walter Nichols, a key figure in the Art Deco movement, this oval-shaped rug combines traditional Chinese motifs with the streamlined elegance of Art Deco design. The lush green field serves as the perfect canvas for the decorative details that unfold along the border and within the composition, evoking a sense of grace and harmony. The unique shape of the rug adds to its charm, making it a timeless piece that would enhance any interior space.

At the heart of this beautiful design are stylized floral arrangements that grace the corners and edges of the Chinese Art Deco rug. These floral motifs, rendered in soft hues of pink, lavender, and gold, symbolize joy, prosperity, and beauty in Chinese culture. The flowers are expertly woven into delicate urn-like vases, which are often seen as symbols of abundance and peace. Their symmetrical placement within the borders of the rug adds a structured elegance to the otherwise fluid and naturalistic design.

The scrolling vine motifs that surround the floral arrangements are classic Art Deco elements, with their sinuous curves and bold shapes. These ornamental vines, reminiscent of the organic shapes found in Chinese art, bring a sense of vitality and movement to the rug’s composition. The gentle interplay between the curves of the vines and the softness of the floral motifs creates a harmonious balance, making this piece not only aesthetically pleasing but also deeply symbolic of life, growth, and continuity.

This antique Chinese Art Deco rug represents the merging of East and West in a period of artistic exploration and innovation. It is a celebration of the beauty found in nature, combined with the sleek lines and bold forms of the Art Deco period. The luxurious wool and expert craftsmanship ensure that this woven wonder is not only a decorative statement but also a functional work of art that will bring warmth and sophistication to any home.
