The pile is full, even, and deeply lustrous throughout, retaining the silky sheen and chromatic intensity of a piece that has been carefully preserved across a century of existence. This is a collector’s example in every sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design is built around one of the most dramatic compositional formats in the Art Deco Chinese repertoire: a vast oval medallion in warm, burnished golden amber, its elliptical form ringed by a soft blush-pink oval border that floats with effortless elegance against the deep burgundy plum field. The contrast between the glowing gold center and the jewel-toned surround is visually arresting — bold enough to command a room, refined enough to anchor it with grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe field surrounding the medallion is animated with a carefully composed scatter of classical Chinese motifs: wisteria branches with white and powder-blue blossoms; dark charcoal peonies — the flower of wealth and honor — blooming in the corners; a foo lion in cobalt blue and saffron gold; ruyi cloud scrolls in teal and ivory; scattered cherry blossom petals and delicate butterfly motifs. Each element is rendered with the painterly delicacy characteristic of the finest 1920s production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outer border is a restrained ivory fringe, allowing the richness of the field and medallion to speak without competition. The overall palette — golden amber, deep plum, blush pink, charcoal, cobalt, teal, and ivory — is a masterclass in Art Deco color theory: simultaneously opulent and harmonious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: a light vertical crease is visible through the medallion, the result of storage folding. This is entirely superficial and will relax naturally with use and laying flat — it does not affect the structural integrity or long-term beauty of the piece.\u003c\/em\u003e\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: Large oval golden medallion on burgundy plum field; wisteria, peonies, foo lion, ruyi cloud scrolls, butterflies, cherry blossoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor palette: Golden amber, deep burgundy\/plum, blush pink, charcoal, cobalt blue, teal, ivory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 247 cm × 311 cm (8’1” × 10’2”)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent \/ Near-Mint.
