Art Deco “Pagoda” Carpet, Beijing, c. 1925
Chinese Art Deco carpet featuring a pagoda landscape
This exceptional Chinese carpet combines the elegance of Far Eastern design with the clean lines of Art Deco. The deep, shimmering blue of the expansive central field creates a serene, almost meditative expanse, framed by a finely crafted border of stylized floral and butterfly motifs.
20th-century Chinese carpets
A striking focal point is the asymmetrical landscape scene in one corner of the carpet: a delicate pagoda rises amidst rocks, blossoms, and streams, lending the design that poetic lightness that makes early 20th-century Chinese carpets so highly sought-after. The understated composition allows ample room for furniture and architectural features while simultaneously allowing the carpet to stand as a work of art in its own right.
The harmonious color palette—featuring shades of blue, beige, and dark accents—lends the piece a timeless elegance. Whether in a classic interior, an Art Deco setting, or as a compelling contrast in a modern living space, this carpet adds a touch of sophistication that remains subtle and refined. It is a distinctive collector’s piece that uniquely blends the allure of Chinese craftsmanship with the aesthetic of the 1920s and 1930s.
A beautiful Salvino Marsura Table would be a good match for this Carpet.
