SOLD - Nichols Art Deco Chinese Rug, 8x10 - "Pagoda Island Night"
SOLD
This antique, room-size, art deco, Chinese carpet will bring warmth, elegance and memorable charm to any large indoor space.
The one-of-a-kind textile artwork features a pictorial, nighttime landscape with aquatic islands, a pagoda, a hanging lantern, blossoming tree branches and more. The design balances these ample points of interest with open space, so that the rug doesn't feel at all busy or crowded. The main field color is a deep, rich navy, framed by a narrow strip of red with a hint of orange.
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.
The rug is in fair antique condition, with some wear. Please view the photos and video for full details.

The 'grace period' for returns depends on how you bought the rugs -
