Vintage Chinese Art Deco Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB3829 8'10" × 11'5" $13,000

Hand-knotted in wool in China circa 1940, this vintage Chinese Art Deco rug brings a relaxed interpretation of the period’s decorative style. Its warm tan ground has a softly worn, luminous character, allowing the design to breathe while still giving the room a defined sense of structure. It draws on Chinese decorative weaving traditions while remaining unmistakably Art Deco in its restraint and balance.

Rather than a formal medallion, the composition is organized around the perimeter, where floral and foliate motifs unfold in a light, rhythmic frame. Curling leaves, petite blossoms, and scrolling botanical tracery drift inward with a painterly touch, while the center remains open and understated. The effect is airy, balanced, and visually quiet.

Dusty pink, sage green, celadon, cream, and clear blue accents enliven the neutral field without overwhelming it. That gentle palette makes the rug especially versatile for layered contemporary rooms, tailored seating areas, or interiors that call for an Art Deco carpet with botanical movement, a softened vintage patina, and a subtle chinoiserie inflection.
