On the Design:

This exquisite rug is a vibrant dialogue between the bold geometry of Art Deco and the lyrical symbolism of classic Chinese motifs, as well as an exemplary use of the open field design seldom seen in most other classic rugs.

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
