About the Item

Vintage Chinese Art Deco Wool Rug Size: 13'5" × 16'9" (408 × 510 cm) This exceptional vintage Chinese wool rug from 1939 is a striking example of the East-meets-West aesthetic that defined the Chinese Art Deco period. Woven in luxurious wool, the rug exhibits a highly stylized, architectural design with strong geometric symmetry, rendered in a captivating palette of soft jade green, amethyst, golden ochre, and muted lavender. At the heart of the composition lies a powerful central medallion motif, composed of diamond and cruciform shapes, flanked by abstracted phoenix-like winged forms and scrollwork vines that reference traditional Chinese imperial iconography. The design radiates outward in a rhythmic, mirror-image repetition that achieves both visual balance and intricate complexity. Subtle botanical elements—including stylized lotus blossoms and cloud bands—interweave with the dominant motifs to soften the graphic intensity and ground the piece in nature. The expansive border, replete with curling tendrils, urns, and scrolling foliage, frames the interior with elegance and restraint. These corner and edge elements evoke classical Chinese ornamentation, while still embracing the modern sensibility that was burgeoning in Chinese textile design of the early 20th century. Rendered in a soft yet bold color scheme, the rug’s tone-on-tone purples and greens are masterfully juxtaposed, giving it a painterly and timeless quality. The wool’s gentle sheen adds dimension and depth, enhancing the richness of the pattern and amplifying the rug's decorative versatility. This rug is grand in scale and presence—ideal for anchoring a large room or gallery-like space. Whether used in a sophisticated Art Deco interior or a contemporary minimalist setting, this rug offers a rare and refined statement of craftsmanship, cultural fusion, and historic charm. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
