A garden in full bloom, frozen in time...this antique Chinese Art Deco is one of those rugs that makes you catch your breath. Against a luminous sage-celadon ground — that dreamy, misty green that exists nowhere else but in the best Chinese Art Deco pieces — cascading cherry blossom branches erupt in soft pinks, blush, ivory and gold. The gnarled black branches twist upward with such painterly grace...it's more like a scroll painting than a rug. It really is.
The wool is that exceptional Art Deco quality — plush, dense, with a beautiful natural sheen that catches the light as you move around it. The colors are vegetable-dyed with that soft, watercolor quality that only age and artisanship together can produce. Pink roses, cream blossoms, the occasional burst of gold...all suspended in that impossible green. Utterly romantic and completely unique.
Condition is very good for its age - the pile is full, the colors are singing, and this blossom beauty is ready for its next chapter. Check out the video below for more rug action.
