Rust and garden blooms...this little antique Chinese Art Deco round is the definition of joyful in a small package. The deep rust ground glows like warm candlelight, framed by a wide jade-green border and scattered across it: a wild, painterly garden alive with golden chrysanthemums, spidery blue asters with sunshine-yellow hearts, maple leaves in celadon, sage, and lavender, all trailing along sinuous blue vines. Purple poppies tuck in at the edges...It's eccentric. It's exuberant. It is absolutely perfect.
This is the kind of rug you place at the foot of a bed, in a reading nook, or perhaps on a credenza, or a catch-all key holder. It's gorgeous, jewel toned, plush and top notch quality wool. This little old one from the 1920s is extraordinarily plush and full, with that wonderful lanolin softness that only age and quality together can produce. Full pile throughout, not a thin spot in sight. Pure artistry...pure indulgence.
Condition is mint, pile is lush and intact, colors still vivid and singing. A little jewel of the Art Deco era. Make sure to check out the video below for more rug action.
A custom cut rug pad on the house will ship with this gem to keep it nice and snug.
