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

This rare 1940s Art Deco Chinese rug is a striking example of minimalist design fused with symbolic elegance. Woven during a period when East met West stylistically, this piece reflects both the streamlined aesthetic of early 20th-century Art Deco and traditional Chinese design principles.

Set against a warm, beige field, the rug’s composition centers around a large, singular indigo-blue five-point star. This bold motif radiates understated power and focus, anchoring the open field with graphic clarity. Encircling the rug is a sharp Greek key-inspired border rendered in cool blue tones, offering both a modernist framework and a subtle nod to classical patterning.

Handwoven in China, this piece is crafted from high-quality wool, exhibiting a velvety texture and rich luster. The dense weave and soft pile lend a sense of comfort, while the harmonious color palette—soft beige, muted blue, and faint gray—ensures versatility across interiors from mid-century modern to contemporary minimalist.

This rug exemplifies the refined balance between form and symbolism, commonly found in Chinese Art Deco pieces, making it a timeless statement of design and cultural crosscurrents.
