Chinese Art Deco Vintage Floral Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8489 13'3" × 24'7" $95,000

Step into a world of refined elegance with this captivating 1930s Chinese Art Deco wool rug, a breathtaking example of the period’s East-meets-West design ethos. Measuring an impressive 25′3″ × 13′3″ (770 × 404 cm), this stately carpet combines subtle botanical abstraction with exuberant decorative flourishes.

The rug’s expansive field is cloaked in a soft sage green, adorned with an allover tone-on-tone leafy vine pattern that evokes the tranquility of a Chinese garden. The vines gently meander across the center, their low-contrast rendering lending the composition an atmospheric, almost ethereal quality.

What truly sets this piece apart is its sophisticated Art Deco frame: four lavish corner motifs burst outward like peacock feathers or stylized chrysanthemums, with fine radial detailing in hues of lavender, dusty pink, teal, and ochre. These vivid floral plumes introduce vibrant yet harmonious contrast, adding dimension and movement to the otherwise calm central expanse.

Delicate floral borders, complete with scrolling foliage and rosettes, enclose the composition with painterly elegance. Each element of the design is executed in a soothing palette of taupe, blush, plum, celadon, and ivory—colors that exemplify the luxurious restraint of Chinese Art Deco design.

Hand-knotted in high-quality wool, this rug is as much a decorative statement as it is a testament to craftsmanship. Ideal for a grand interior, this piece offers not only scale and sophistication but a rare glimpse into the transitional beauty of early 20th-century Chinese design.
