Against this jewel-toned ground, an asymmetric cascade of oversized floral blooms unfolds with the freedom and spontaneity of a Chinese ink painting: voluptuous peonies in rose, coral, and gold; stately chrysanthemums in steel blue and silver; delicate cherry blossoms on trailing branches; dahlias and scattered wildflowers in teal, amber, and blush pink. Each bloom is rendered with a naturalistic softness — petals shaded and layered — that gives the composition an almost three-dimensional quality. A small kingfisher bird perches among the blossoms, a traditional symbol of beauty and good fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inner border is a masterpiece of Art Deco design: a scalloped, cloud-shaped cartouche in soft silver-grey separates the field from the outer border, its undulating edge outlined in warm gold. Within the outer border, further floral sprays continue the garden theme on a muted taupe ground. Golden cloud scroll motifs punctuate the corners, a nod to classical Chinese cosmological symbolism rendered in a thoroughly modern, decorative spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 269 × 351 cm (8’10” × 11’6”), this is a room-defining piece — large enough to anchor a formal living room, dining room, or master bedroom. Art Deco Chinese rugs in aubergine are among the most sought-after in the category; this example, with its exceptional palette and generous scale, represents a rare opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Antique handmade Chinese Art Deco rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Art Deco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod: c. 1920s (Antique — approx. 100 years old)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Hand-spun wool pile on cotton foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnique: Hand-knotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Asymmetric floral sprays — peonies, chrysanthemums, cherry blossoms, dahlias; scalloped cloud border; golden cloud scroll corners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor palette: Deep aubergine\/plum, silver-grey, rose, coral, gold, teal, steel blue, blush pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 269 cm × 351 cm (8’10” × 11’6”)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFair\/Good antique condition.
