Vintage Chinese Art Deco Abstract Oversized Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6221 15'8" × 16'10" $65,000

This vintage Chinese Art Deco rug, circa 1940, is hand-knotted in wool and worked in a square format, reflecting the early 20th-century Chinese weaving tradition. Its soft beige ground establishes a serene, open field, while the slate-blue ornament lends just enough contrast to sharpen the composition.

At the center, a simplified star crest acts as the principal motif, rendered with the spare precision of geometric design rather than literal decoration. A full-frame stepped fret border organizes the edges with measured rhythm, creating a decorative frame that feels both Art Deco and distinctly Chinese in its restraint, with negative space doing much of the visual work.

The result is a quiet statement piece: architectural, airy, and easy to place in contemporary, transitional, or Deco-influenced interiors. Its matte wool pile softens the linear vocabulary and gives the palette subdued, tactile depth, making the rug feel refined without losing its graphic clarity for a composed finish.
