Chinese Deco Rug BB8629 7'6" × 10'0" $18,000

This vintage Chinese Art Deco rug is hand-knotted of fine wool into a medium-high, velvety pile that gently undulates underfoot. Its warm ivory-cream ground is subtly variegated by pale beige abrash, creating a soft, glowing backdrop for the lush botanical motif. Oversized nasturtium-style leaves—rendered in celadon, sage green, and muted olive—overlap in a loose wreath around the perimeter and drift inward, their radiating veins picked out in delicate gray-taupe shading. Scattered among the foliage are stylized blossoms in lavender-pink, rose-salmon, buttery yellow, and rich fuchsia, with coral accents at the flower centers lending a painterly, watercolor-like effect. Slim, twisted-cord fringe at the ends underscores the rug’s artisanal, hand-woven character. Originating from China in the 1920s–30s, this Deco-era carpet combines an open, airy composition with a sophisticated pastel palette—making it an ideal focal point for a modern living room, a serene bedroom, or a gallery-style study seeking vintage elegance and organic movement.
