Antique 1920s Chinese Art Deco Scatter rug 3.1' x 5' (94cm x 152cm) - 1B988

This charming antique scatter rug represents the elegant simplicity of the 1920s Art Deco movement in Chinese weaving. Unlike the larger room-sized rugs of the era, these smaller formats were often designed with a singular, dramatic focus—typically featuring a "floating" floral spray or a stylized corner motif against a deep, lustrous field.

The rug is hand-knotted using high-quality wool, which gives it a distinct sheen and a thick, substantial handle. The colors are characteristic of the "Nichols" era, utilizing vibrant, durable dyes that have stood the test of time. This piece is perfect for those looking to add a touch of authentic Jazz Age glamour to a smaller space.
