Art Deco Chinese Carpet

1900 - 1920
Description

An Antique art deco Chinese carpet with a beautiful muted palette unlike most of the art deco Chinese rugs which were more often woven with very bright colours.  The pale blue border is charming and works well with the additional sparse floral motifs, birds and butterflies which float into the main field.  The main field colour is a sandy beige/biscuit tone.  Art Deco Chinese carpets were produced from the 1910’s to the 1940’s.  Prior to the 1920’s often the designs and colours were similar to the classical two tone blue and white antique carpets from China.  After the 1920’s the weaving workshops started to experiment with vibrant colours using subtle open designs of birds and flowers.

This antique Art Deco Chinese carpet is in good condition with only minimal wear or foundation knots showing which you can see in the photographs. There is no damage to this carpet just small areas of wear consistent with the age.  The dyes are good and it has no obvious stains or marks.  A very decorative and subtle carpet.

Request a home visit to view this carpet in situ, we travel all over the UK.  We ship worldwide too, please contact us to discuss this further.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Chinese Art Deco carpets are hand-knotted textiles created during the 1920s and 1930s, primarily in cities like Tianjin and Beijing, designed to appeal to Western markets blending traditional Chinese motifs with modern Art Deco aesthetics.

These carpets are constructed with a hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton warp and weft foundation, utilising saturated dyes to achieve rich chromatic contrast.

Authentic pieces display thick, plush wool pile, vibrant colour palettes, asymmetrical pictorial or floral compositions, and open central fields rather than dense overall patterning.

Place the carpet as the central focal point in a living room or bedroom, pairing its soft background tone and graphic border with contemporary minimalist furniture or Art Deco accent pieces.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush, rotate periodically to ensure even wear, and clean exclusively through specialist rug cleaning professionals.
