Early 20th Century Art Deco Chinese Carpet
SKU
RT4933248
Pioneered by Walter Nichols, an American in China whose workshops were active from 1924 into the 1930s, Chinese Art Deco carpets represent a real high point in the history of 20th Century design.
These pieces are highly sought after, standing out for their unique combination of traditional Chinese elements, alongside design motifs borrowed from the Art Deco movement, which dominated the decorative arts of America and Europe during the period. This example features a rare muted hazelnut field, framed by a creatively drawn border, decorated with floral designs in the spandrels worked in fresh tones of cornflower blue and ochre red, creating a playful contrast with the carpet’s otherwise earthy, monochrome palette.
A charming piece, to complement either a contemporary or a classic interior.
