This circa 1920 handmade wool Art Deco Chinese Oriental Rug #8159 measures 8’0” x 9’10”. It has a golden yellow brown field and an extremely interesting layout. There is a dragon at every corner looking out. In the middle of the rug there is a circular medallion consisting of two circling birds. The field is covered in Buddhist iconography such as the scroll, the inkpot, the fish and a few bats for luck. There are two minor borders. One is the pearl design on a medium blue ground and the other has a Greek key design on a grey ground. The major border has repeated images of Mogwa in blue, ivory and rust on a lilac ground. This rug is in good condition for its age. I’ve never owned a Chinese rug quite like this. It is very interesting and unique. The ends and sides are complete. It is clean and ready to go.
