Antique Art Deco Chinese Allover Navy 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional piece represents the height of Chinese weaving during the Art Deco era, characterized by bold coloration and dense patterning. The deep navy field provides a dramatic foundation for the design, classifying it among our finest examples of blue color rugs.

The field is executed in a magnificent allover design, featuring scrolling vines and abundant stylized blossoms rendered in soft tones of beige, blush, and muted rose. This highly detailed composition contrasts sharply with the rich ground, demonstrating the technical mastery expected of high-quality antique rugs from this period.

A complex, multi-banded border frames the central motif, utilizing a striking salmon-pink ground overlaid with dark, sinuous scrollwork and traditional Chinese seal motifs at the corners. The balanced scale and square proportions suggest this piece was intended to serve as a commanding focal point, defining the space within traditional room size rugs.

The overall aesthetic is one of sophisticated abundance, where the traditional Chinese reverence for nature is filtered through the geometric clarity of the 1930s Art Deco movement. This rug offers a rare combination of historical provenance and enduring decorative appeal, suitable for the most discerning contemporary interiors. See less
