Chinese Deco Rugs, Origin China, Circa Early 20th Century – Here is an exciting and appealing antique Oriental carpets – an antique Art Deco rug that was designed and woven in China during the early years of the twentieth century. Heavily informed by the aesthetic inclinations of the Art Deco period, these unique carpets are a compelling and thought-provoking example. A scalloped border encloses a Fuchsia field on this exquisitely subtle and restrained antique Chinese Art Deco. At first, the field appears empty or open, but it is actually covered by a design of scrolls and emanating inward from the outer edges. In their sinuous rhythms, they echo the scalloped forms of the border and continue its visual effects across the carpet in a more subdued manner. This carpet testifies to the masterful design sensibilities of Chinese weavers as they made the transition into the modern world. The Art Deco movement had an outside influence on the world of art and design, and some of the most important qualities and characteristics of that movement may be found in this fine rug.
