Oversized Walter Nichols Art Deco Chinese Rug in French Blue, Yellow, Navy, Red
Located in Barrington, IL
A magnificent and oversized example of an early 20th-century Walter Nichols Art Deco Chinese rug—truly one of the most beautiful and iconic rugs ever woven in China. In remarkably well-preserved, “like new” condition, this masterpiece has defied time with minimal wear, an extraordinary rarity for a rug over 100 years old.
The central field features a serene and captivating pagoda design set against a rich blue background. Surrounding the central motif are delicately rendered butterflies and floral bouquets, evoking a sense of grace and harmony. Each corner of the field is adorned with vibrant imagery of birds, butterflies, and flowers, adding layers of narrative and visual interest.
Framing this scene is a bold and luminous yellow border, beautifully decorated with repeating pagoda designs—tying the entire composition together in classic Art Deco fashion with a Chinese cultural flourish.
This rug is a testament to the sophisticated design sensibility of the Walter Nichols studio and a rare opportunity to own a true treasure from China’s golden era of fine hand knotted rugs.
