This antique Chinese Art Deco carpet originates from circa 1920 and follows a distinctive regional style. The hand-knotted wool and cotton construction presents a raspberry pink central field contrasted by a wide blue outer border. The rectangular textile displays an unusual design incorporating the eight symbols of Buddhism, an endless knot motif, and various pictorial symbols alongside a traditional floral border. Age-related wear includes light surface marks on the pile while the original fringes and selvedges remain secure. The rug measures 302 cm high, 216 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. This sizable floor covering suits living rooms, bedrooms, or studies, bringing a bold splash of colour and traditional pattern to contemporary interior schemes. The vibrant palette and symbolic decoration anchor furniture groupings while adding warmth and texture underfoot in residential spaces.

FAQs

Chinese Art Deco carpets were produced predominantly between the 1920s and 1930s for the Western export market, pioneered by American entrepreneurs such as Walter Nichols. They merge traditional Chinese textile symbolism with the bold colours and graphical sensibilities of the Art Deco movement.

These carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for the pile, knotted onto a heavy cotton warp and weft foundation. The vibrant hues were achieved using early synthetic chrome dyes alongside natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic examples feature thick, lustrous wool pile, asymmetrical pictorial compositions, open central fields, and non-traditional colour pairings such as magenta, turquoise, plum, and navy blue. The underside displays visible hand-knotted cotton construction.

Designers use these carpets as foundational colour anchors in rooms, pairing them with streamlined Mid-Century Modern or modern minimalist furniture to allow the vibrant central field and graphic motifs to stand out.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to protect the wool pile. Rotate the carpet periodically to ensure even light exposure, and rely on professional dry carpet cleaners specialising in antique textiles for stain removal.
