This is an antique one-of-a-kind 2'0" x 4'0" Rectangle rug, hand knotted in wool in China in the 1920s. A striking antique ivory and beige Chinese Art Deco, hand-knotted in wool in China around 1920. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases a floral composition across an ivory and beige palette, and measures 2'0" x 4'0". Chinese Art Deco rugs emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, when weavers in Tianjin - most famously in the workshops associated with Walter Nichols - paired traditional Chinese craft with the bold, asymmetrical, modern aesthetic of the Art Deco movement. The result is a distinctive look: spacious fields, oversized blossoms and a fresh, painterly use of color. As a smaller scatter size, it makes a perfect accent for an entryway, reading nook or bedside - and layers beautifully over a larger rug or natural fiber. The ivory palette is endlessly versatile, lightening and enlarging a room. Hand-knotted from durable wool, it is made to be lived with and handed down.
