Chinese Art Deco Rug

A Chinese art deco rug is a stunning sight of woven beauty with breathtaking details and texture. In addition to their soft, luxurious feel, Chinese art deco rugs are famous for embodying a glamourous elegance unique to them. There's nothing like a Chinese art deco rug to create a sense of sophistication. Many of these carpets were produced in China in the 1920s and 1930s and featured asymmetrical designs as well as vivid and contrasting colors that blended traditional Chinese motifs. There is a wide range of border thickness on these rugs, ranging from extremely thick to almost nonexistent. Several countries produced art deco rugs, and a number of these rugs incorporated cubism and other modern art influences into their designs. Despite being true to the style of the movement, these art deco rugs were not as popular as Chinese art deco rugs of the same era among rug buyers.

The history of antique Chinese carpets dates back a very long time and is quite different from that of Middle Eastern rugs. The antique Chinese carpets and rugs often featured medallions and allover designs, which were typically associated with silk textiles. Generally, they are more spacious and open in design than Middle Eastern Oriental carpets. From a stylistic perspective, Chinese art deco rugs stood out because they incorporated Chinese motifs with unprecedented combinations of colors. As a standard, colors such as blues, reds, yellows, and ivory are used in traditional Chinese rugs. The colors used in Chinese art deco rugs were fuchsia, turquoise, green, and gold. There were still Chinese motifs like pagodas, bamboo, vases, lanterns, trees, dragons, and flowers but they appeared larger and in a brighter color palette. There was an entirely new sensibility behind Chinese rugs in contrast to the conventional proportions and symmetry. In other words, Chinese art deco rugs freely drew inspiration from Chinese heritage to develop a rug that was entirely new to consumers in Western countries. 

The antique Chinese rugs are woven with designs and images symbolic of the enchanting land of China, which reflect the folklore, culture, and history of the country.
