This exceptional example of early 20th-century weaving captures the transitional aesthetic of the Art Deco movement. Unlike traditional, densely patterned pieces, this rug utilizes a vast, open field of rich, oxidized terracotta, characteristic of the finest antique rugs from this period.

The expansive, luminous field is saturated in a deep, earthy orange hue, providing a sophisticated backdrop for the scattered motifs. The use of vibrant chrome dyes, typical of the era, allows the rich, warm tones to dominate, placing this piece among the most desirable gold yellow orange color rugs available today.

Four carefully balanced floral sprays anchor the corners, featuring stylized peonies and chrysanthemums rendered in soft yellows, pinks, and greens. This deliberate asymmetry and reduction of ornamentation mark a clear departure from classical design, aligning the piece with emerging modern modernist rugs that prioritized negative space and clean lines.

With its impressive dimensions, this piece functions perfectly as a foundational element in a grand interior, offering the scale and presence required of room size rugs. The subtle, pale blue line defining the perimeter adds a final touch of restrained elegance, ensuring this Chinese Art Deco creation remains a timeless statement of luxury and artistic innovation.
