Story Behind the Art: Chinese Art Deco rugs originated in the early 1900s, reflecting a harmonious blend of the global Art Deco movement and traditional Chinese design sensibilities. Unlike classic Persian or Oriental styles, these rugs embrace vibrant color schemes, open compositions, and asymmetrical layouts that highlight artistic freedom. Defined by their bold palettes, graceful motifs, and minimal use of rigid borders, Chinese Art Deco rugs represent a captivating union of Eastern craftsmanship and modern elegance—resulting in designs that remain both unique and enduringly stylish.
