77328 Oval Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug, 04'05 x 07'04.
The Serenity Garden: An Antique Chinese Art Deco Masterpiece of Timeless Elegance
This hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug is a masterclass in restraint and refinement, created for interiors where quiet luxury speaks louder than ornament. Its softly contoured oval form immediately distinguishes it as a bespoke decorative object, evoking the tailored elegance of early 20th-century salon culture. The open, neutral field offers a rare sense of visual calm, allowing space, light, and architecture to breathe—an intentional design choice reserved for the most sophisticated settings.
Encircling the exceptional composition, three scrolling floral vines glide gracefully along the perimeter, framing the rug like a painted vignette. These sinuous bands are rendered with remarkable tonal shading, a signature of fine Chinese workshops, where subtle gradations create depth without heaviness. The florals appear almost suspended, drifting across the surface with a lyrical rhythm that enhances the rug’s sculptural silhouette.
The blooms themselves carry layers of symbolic resonance. Chrysanthemums, long associated with longevity and cultivated wisdom, mingle with peonies—emblems of honor, prosperity, and refined beauty. Their naturalistic movement suggests harmony and balance, reinforcing the Art Deco ideal of controlled elegance infused with organic vitality. This exquisite work of art feels intentional yet effortless, an aesthetic that rewards close observation.
Time has softened the sumptuous surface into a velvety patina, lending this extraordinary masterpiece an air of intimacy and provenance that cannot be replicated. Ideal for a grand dressing room, refined library, or artfully curated sitting area, this oval Chinese Art Deco rug reads as both artwork and heirloom. Rare in form, serene in spirit, and unmistakably prestigious, it offers collectors an invitation into a world of cultivated calm and enduring distinction.
