1920s Chinese Art Deco Carpet ( 9' x 11'6" - 275 x 350 cm ) The lemony gold field, with a dark blue border, shows a characteristic group of Chinese motives, three different hanging ornaments or lanterns, a slender flower vase on a packet of books, a red vase on stand, wrapped by a smoke-emitting dragon; birds and butterflies; and a gourd flask; along with shaded paeonies, lotuses and other seasonal flowers. The field tone is particularly warm and inviting.
