Antique Art Deco Room Size Wool Aqua, Brown Earth Tone Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of Chinese Art Deco weaving captures the sophisticated aesthetic of the Jazz Age, presenting a striking contrast between its expansive, tranquil field and the deep, grounding border. Its generous dimensions qualify it as a desirable category of room size rugs, perfect for anchoring a substantial living space or formal dining area.

The central field is dominated by a rare, muted shade of aqua, creating a serene and reflective surface. This particular hue is highly sought after in the Art Deco period, offering a soft counterpoint to the era's bolder geometric designs. The subtle variation in the pile depth enhances the luminosity, making it a standout piece among blue color rugs of the period.

In keeping with the Art Deco sensibility, the design employs asymmetry and negative space masterfully. Delicate, naturalistic motifs—including flowering branches, hanging lanterns, and stylized vases—are strategically placed in the corners, allowing the expansive aqua field to breathe. The use of soft pinks, yellows, and creams against the rich brown border highlights the exquisite detail of the wool pile.

Woven from high-quality wool, this textile is not merely a floor covering but a significant piece of design history. It represents the fusion of traditional Chinese craftsmanship with Western modernist taste, making it a superb addition to any collection of fine antique rugs. Its excellent preservation ensures its lasting appeal as a focal point in contemporary or period interiors. See less
