Description

I do not know who made it. I have googled an image of the rug and get a wide range of information. It is hand knotted, extremely thick Chinese art deco style rug. I know it not 100s of years old but it is in perfect condition with no stains or wear. There are no tags on it to help.

What does this mean?

Hello, this item is a Chinese Art Deco style rug, most likely produced during the mid to late 20th century, probably between the 1960s and 1990s, drawing strong inspiration from earlier Chinese Deco carpets of the 1920s and 1930s. The design features a highly decorative scenic landscape composition with pagodas, bridges, waterways, trees, and stylized architectural motifs rendered in soft pastel tones. This type of pictorial design became especially popular in Chinese export rugs and later reproductions because it appealed strongly to Western interior tastes. The rug appears hand-knotted, as noted by the owner, and the thick wool pile, soft palette, and dense construction support that assessment. The deep blue border framing the central field is also characteristic of Chinese decorative carpet production. While the imagery references earlier Chinese Art Deco aesthetics, the condition, color retention, and overall finish suggest a later production rather than an early Republican-period original.

From a market perspective, decorative Chinese Art Deco revival rugs remain desirable for interior decoration, particularly in sizes suitable for living spaces such as this approximately 6’ x 9’ example. Early 1920s to 1930s Chinese Deco rugs by known workshops can command substantial prices, but later decorative examples generally trade within a more accessible market range. The excellent condition, strong visual appeal, and intact fringes positively support value. Based on comparable sales for later hand-knotted Chinese scenic rugs of similar quality and size, the fair market value is approximately $700 to $1,500 USD.
