This stunning antique Chinese Art Deco rug features a vibrant Imperial Yellow field framed by a sophisticated muted lavender-mauve border. Hand-knotted with high-quality wool, this piece exemplifies the "Nichols" or "Fette" style of the 1920s and 30s, blending traditional Eastern symbolism with the bold, open compositions of the Art Deco era. The rug is adorned with intricate asymmetrical motifs, including a soaring dragon and a majestic phoenix—symbolizing the balance of yin and yang. Delicate floral sprays, scholar’s objects, and traditional vases accent the corners, making it a masterpiece of textile art. This rug measures 8'4" x 10'9".
