Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug with Ming Dynasty Style
About the Item
77449 Antique Chinese Art Deco Rug, 08'03 x 09'09. This exquisite hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug draws inspiration from the sophisticated designs of Helen Fette-Li, known for her ability to blend Eastern motifs with Western aesthetics. The rug’s striking color-blocked design, featuring a deep navy-blue field set against a soft brown border, creates a dynamic visual contrast that immediately captivates the viewer. The asymmetrical placement of delicate floral motifs and symbolic elements breaks through the borders, enhancing the sense of vitality and movement that permeates the composition. Each motif is carefully rendered, embodying both elegance and cultural depth, making this piece not just a decorative accessory, but a narrative of beauty and symbolism.
The top left corner of the Chinese Art Deco rug showcases a graceful plum blossom tree adorned with blooms that appear to cascade along the border and into the field. The presence of these blossoms is especially meaningful in Chinese culture. As the flower of winter, plum blossoms represent resilience and perseverance, symbolizing the ability to thrive even in adversity. Nestled within the meandering branches is an auspicious phoenix bird perched in a suspended hanging basket, a motif associated with renewal, immortality, and harmony in Chinese lore. The phoenix, with its elegant lines and vibrant plumage, adds an ethereal quality to the rug, enhancing the overall sense of splendor and sophistication.
In the lower right corner of the field, a delicately depicted flowering vase emerges, signifying eternal harmony and balance. The image of the vase, or “ping” in Chinese, is a homophone for “peace,” making it a powerful symbol of tranquility and prosperity. This motif, combined with the soft floral tendrils that spiral out from the vase, creates a sense of equilibrium and unity within the asymmetrical design. The flowers, meticulously rendered in soft pastels, bring a touch of serenity and subtle beauty to the rug, making it a perfect piece to harmonize with various interior styles, from traditional to contemporary.
Adding a final note of whimsy and grace, three butterflies dance through the center of the composition, their delicate wings creating a sense of movement and joy. In Chinese culture, butterflies are seen as symbols of happiness, love, and transformation. Their inclusion in this rug’s design infuses the piece with a lighthearted spirit, balancing the more formal elements of the composition. This antique Chinese Art Deco rug, with its perfect blend of cultural symbolism and modern design sensibilities, is a testament to the artistic prowess of Helen Fette-Li’s inspired style. It would serve as a stunning focal point in any sophisticated living space, blending artistic heritage with timeless appeal.
Rendered in variegated shades of navy blue, brown, ink blue, dark royal blue, camel, true blue, chamois, indigo, taupe, ink blue, ecru, tan, and sand with other accent colors.
