The Emerald Garden: An Antique Chinese Art Deco Masterpiece of Imperial Bloom
This hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Art Deco rug embodies a moment when tradition met modernity with extraordinary refinement. Its lush green field feels ceremonial and composed, evoking the cultivated interiors of early 20th-century salons where Eastern symbolism was embraced as a mark of intellectual taste and global sophistication. The sumptuous surface carries a dignified stillness, offering the quiet confidence of an object created not for trend, but for legacy.
At the heart of the exceptional composition rests a rounded open medallion, delicately suspended rather than imposed. Within this central space, chrysanthemums, peonies, cherry blossoms, and lotuses unfold in harmonious balance, their forms softened by leafy tendrils and encircled by a garland of opulent frondescence. This open medallion reads as a contemplative garden rather than a strict geometric anchor, inviting the eye inward with grace and restraint.
The iconic symbolism woven throughout is rich and intentional. The lotus, revered for purity and perfection, rises as a reminder of clarity emerging from adversity. Peonies, long associated with honor and unrivaled beauty, lend this exquisite work of art a sense of cultivated prestige, while chrysanthemums—flowers of autumn—speak to longevity, wisdom, and a life well lived. Their presence across the field and spandrels creates a narrative of prosperity, endurance, and refined fulfillment.
More than a decorative textile, this timeless Chinese Art Deco rug is a statement of cultivated discernment. It brings with it the aura of an era when design served philosophy and beauty carried meaning. Ideal for interiors that favor depth over excess, it transforms a space into a sanctuary of elegance—where history, symbolism, and status converge in a single, extraordinary masterpiece.
Perfect for a living room, front room, dining room, wine cellar, conservatory, royal suite, executive suite, bedroom, private library, state room, great room, private Chambers, drawing room, billiards room, trophy room, man cave, game room, music room, sunroom, masters retreat, formal vestibule, or hotel lobby.
