It features a rich, golden ochre field decorated with sparse, elegant floral sprays, butterflies, and traditional \"Endless Knot\" motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe runner is framed by a bold, wide indigo-blue border adorned with a continuous vine of blooming peonies in shades of rose, plum, and cream. Unlike traditional Persian rugs, Chinese Deco rugs of this era are celebrated for their use of \"negative space\" and vibrant, saturated colors that were specifically designed to complement the Western Art Deco furniture of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall Condition: Fair to Good Antique Condition.
