Luxury Vintage Hand-Knotted Carpet BB8928 10'7" × 17'3" $35,000

This exceptional vintage Chinese Art Deco rug, dating back to the 1920s-30s, is a striking example of the transitional elegance that defined the early 20th-century fusion of Eastern motifs and Western decorative sensibilities. Woven with meticulous precision, this large-format rug presents a lush tapestry of color and movement across a soft café-au-lait field.

A celebration of botanical elegance, the composition is animated by an allover pattern of stylized swirling vines, fluttering leaves, and scattered blossoms rendered in soft shades of lavender, indigo, ivory, and crimson. The abstract florals bloom in asymmetric clusters, gracefully drifting across the ground with a sense of natural rhythm. Four pairs of red-edged medallions punctuate the field with auspicious double gourd motifs—traditional Chinese symbols of harmony, prosperity, and longevity.

The design masterfully balances fluidity and structure: scrolling vines and rounded petals create a dreamlike cadence, while the subtle triple-stripe border frames the field with quiet restraint. This restrained framing serves to highlight the painterly quality of the interior, where the free-flowing design evokes traditional Chinese brush painting.

Crafted from high-quality wool, the pile is luxuriously soft with a lustrous sheen, reflecting the refinement typical of Chinese Art Deco weaving. The gentle patina, evidence of the rug’s age and authenticity, enhances its character and historical value.

Ideal for both contemporary and classic interiors, this Chinese Deco rug brings timeless grace, cultural symbolism, and serene artistry to any space.
