Antique Art Deco Room Size Wool Blue, Yellow / Gold / Orange Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece captures the transitional design period of the early 20th century, where traditional Eastern craftsmanship met the geometric boldness of Western Art Deco sensibilities. The substantial scale of this piece qualifies it as a true room size rug, designed to anchor a major living space with its commanding presence.

The field is dominated by a rich, burnished gold hue, providing a luxurious, almost metallic sheen that is characteristic of high-quality Chinese wool from this era. This central expanse is subtly punctuated by stylized floral medallions rendered in deep blues, oranges, and pinks. The use of the rich, saturated blue color in the border creates a powerful visual frame against the luminous field.

The dramatic border features a dense array of flowering vines and blossoms, executed with a sophisticated, yet simplified, hand. These organic elements, while rooted in traditional Chinese rugs iconography, are presented with the graphic clarity favored by the Art Deco movement. The interplay of deep indigo and vibrant secondary colors—yellow, orange, and magenta—lends the composition an undeniable energy.

Woven in China during the 1920s, this rug represents a highly sought-after category of antique rugs that defined the sophisticated interiors of the Jazz Age. Its excellent condition and striking palette make it a significant decorative acquisition for collectors seeking authentic examples of early Art Deco textile design. The wool pile remains plush and resilient, a testament to its enduring quality. See less
