Antique Art Deco Chinese Allover Other 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece captures the transitional elegance of the early 20th century, where traditional Chinese weaving techniques met the burgeoning Art Deco movement. The result is a refined aesthetic that avoids the stark geometry often associated with the era, instead offering a softer, more organic interpretation of modern design.

The field presents a subtle, sandy beige ground densely covered in scrolling vine work and stylized blossoms. The restrained palette, featuring soft coral, pale blue, and cream, speaks to the sophisticated tastes of the period. Such pieces are highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs for their unique historical placement and decorative versatility.

A rich, rust-toned border frames the central design, utilizing a complementary scrolling pattern that provides definition without harsh contrast. The edges are notably scalloped, a charming detail that softens the rug's silhouette and enhances its handcrafted appeal. This careful attention to outline is characteristic of high-quality Chinese production from the Republican era.

Its delicate scale ensures it can enrich a smaller space or complement a larger arrangement, functioning beautifully as a decorative accent in an intimate setting. This particular size is often referred to as a small scatter size rug, perfect for adding warmth and vintage character to a modern interior. See less
