Antique Chinese – Art Deco Chinese Floral Green 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece captures the height of the Art Deco movement in China, characterized by bold, simplified designs and a dramatic use of negative space. It represents a superb example of antique rugs from the early 20th century, blending traditional Eastern motifs with Western modernism.

The field is dominated by a shimmering, soft sage green color that provides a tranquil backdrop for the exuberant central composition. This unique shade, achieved through high-quality dyes, allows the floral elements—rendered in rich hues of salmon, ochre, and lavender—to emerge with striking clarity and depth.

The central design features an oversized, lush bouquet of chrysanthemums and peonies, rendered with a painterly hand. The scale of the motif is deliberately grand, filling the entire field without the distraction of a traditional border, emphasizing the rug’s function as a singular, powerful statement piece.

Given its substantial dimensions and luxurious pile, this piece was designed to serve as a foundational element in a sophisticated interior. Such large format textiles are highly sought after, providing exceptional coverage suitable for room size rugs in formal living areas or grand dining rooms, offering both historical resonance and unparalleled visual impact.
