On the Design:

This exquisite square rug is a vibrant dialogue between the bold geometry of Art Deco and the lyrical symbolism of classic Chinese motifs. The central negative space is defined by a beautifully saturated hue of bronze brown with amber gold accents that sits gorgeously underfoot, providing a stunning, luminous canvas for minimal decoration.

In each corner, sophisticated cloudband and floral scroll motifs in ice blue and black float gracefully, underscoring a play of color that emphasizes the spandrels. The entire composition is contained by a striking, continuous Greek Key border rendered in deep navy blue, which introduces a powerful, graphic repetition.

Admirers of the craft will note the particular emphasis on these stylized motifs—long-celebrated symbols found in period pieces that inspired this design. Altogether, it is a deeply personal homage to a rich history of craft and culture, translating antique elegance into a distinguished contemporary piece. See less
