Hand-knotted wool, the 8x9 rug exhibits exemplary Chinese Deco sensibilities with a pervasive pictorial floral pattern that features flower vases as a central medallion and on the borders in a gorgeous rare brown and blue combination accenting to peach.

Connoisseurs may note regal depictions of vases, tables, chests, and Buddha’s hand floral allusions handsomely decorating the medallion, field corners, and borders alike. Some of these symbols in particular may connote Buddhist emblems of treasure, referred to by historians as ‘precious things’ for their reverence and aspirations of good fortune on behalf of the weaver.

Existing in pristine condition, a revered piece well suited for drawing rooms, dining rooms, Oriental interiors, and an array of prestigious projects. Especially collectible for its rare, delicious blue and brown combo departing from neoclassical transitionals of this period. See less
