An exquisite pair of Chinese Art Deco pictorial rugs from the second quarter of the 20th century — a rare opportunity to acquire matched pieces of this quality and elegance. Woven with a wool pile on a silk foundation — a luxury construction that gives the rugs a brilliant, jewel-like sheen — each piece features the classic vase motif, the vases filled with delicate tree flowers rendered in soft tones of brown, pale orange, and purple.
The pale green background provides a serene backdrop of great refinement, and the graceful, balanced composition of each piece reflects the finest sensibility of Chinese Art Deco design. Their slender dimensions and excellent condition make them ideal for wall display as decorative textile art, where the silk foundation will catch the light and bring a luminous quality to any interior. Sold as a pair.
