A striking early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco oval rug, woven with a rich and symbolic design. At its heart, a gracefully arching cherry blossom tree emerges from scholar’s rocks, its delicate branches alive with four magpies—birds long associated with joy and good fortune in Chinese culture. Above, seven butterflies flutter across the sky, their presence a symbol of transformation and longevity. The composition is masterfully rendered in a palette of deep indigo, soft violets, warm golds, earthy browns, and lush greens, creating a harmonious interplay of color and depth. The Art Deco influence is evident in the stylized forms and bold contrasts, blending tradition with modern sensibility. This rug is more than a decorative piece; it’s a poetic celebration of nature and symbolism, perfect for bringing elegance and cultural richness to any interior. Whether displayed on the floor or as a wall hanging, it is a true work of art.
