- Lot Description
Large Vintage Rectangular Chinese Art Deco Rug. Striking mostly-empty blue field with three floral medallions and a floral border.
Size: 58 x 28 in.
#53 #9009 .
While Oriental motifs and Japonisme had a significant impact on European art forms and movements from the mid 1800s onward, a fascinating reversal came about in the 1920s thanks to Art Deco. A wide range of Oriental rugs manufactured in China from then through the 1930s combined traditional Chinese motifs with the much more open, often asymmetrical, designs and unusual color combinations of that trend. They represented a marked departure from the traditional Chinese weavings up to that point, catering to American and European tastes of the period. One of the pioneers in this style was Walter Nichols, an American who worked in Tientsin (modern day Tianjin) as a wool grader. After a conversation with a visiting American rug dealer who informed him of the difficulty of finding carpets that were suited for the new aesthetics, Nichols established his own carpet weaving factory in 1924, immediately establishing a receptive market in the West. At its peak Nichols had fourteen factories throughout China, and many other imitators quickly sprang up to make similarly inspired carpets, but the Great Depression impacted the global market so badly that by the time China entered World War II in 1937 the trend had burnt out, and the style of rug never saw a revival again in Southeast Asia, although their influence was felt in other textiles in the post-War era.
