SOLD
This spectacular, room-size, antique, art deco Chinese carpet will bring brilliant color, elegance and memorable charm to any large indoor space.
A striking and unusual work of floor art, the rug depicts an aquatic garden scene. It shows the surface of the water, numerous plants, tree branches and flowers, butterflies, a dragonfly, and more, rendered in brilliant colors. The main field color is rust-orange, while the borders and motifs include numerous shades of blue, purple and more.
Weavers in China diligently hand-knotted the rug c. 1920's. At that time, American entrepreneur and designer Walter Nichols invested in Chinese carpet workshops, and popularized the now-famous art deco floor textiles. This rug's age, colors, materials, weaving techniques and overall style closely resemble the Nichols pieces.
Artist Alexandra Slezak painted a small area of the rug, approx. several square inches in one corner. Her painting skillfully replicates the pattern of the border of the rug, covering over a small fabric repair patch. One of the photos shows the original patch, the painter in action, and the results.
The rug is in moderately distressed antique condition. Please view the photos and video for full details.
