Bold and full of personality, this antique Chinese Art Deco rug blends rich berry red with soft greens, purples, and bursts of bright yellow. Woven during the 1920s, it’s got all the hallmarks of the period, clean lines, open space, and a playful mix of floral and natural motifs. The main field features birds, butterflies, and oversized blooms that spill into the border, giving it an offbeat elegance.
The Chinese characters on the side can be interpreted as something like “A painting for the ages by Kang,” adding a poetic touch and a glimpse into who crafted this beauty. It's hand-knotted, and the wool pile still has great luster. This rug isn’t shy, it brings color and vintage character without trying too hard. Perfect for mixing with modern or eclectic spaces.
In good condition for its age. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
Exact Size: 2'6 x 4'4
