1930s Chinese Art Deco Carpet ( 10' x 14'4" - 305 x 437 )
This is a Classic antique Ningxia pillar rug from China with the depiction of a five-clawed dragon playing with the flaming pearl. For centuries, Ningxia rugs have been praised for the quality of their wool, design and colors. Collectors of Ningxia rugs included L.C. Tiffany, J.P. Morgan and Frank Lloyd Wright, to mention only a few. It was customary for wealthy individuals and the imperial court to donate pillar rugs to temples and monasteries. The dragon pattern will only appear complete when placed around a pillar and the sides meet. The warm brown field is decorated with clouds and three of the Buddhist symbols, the conch shell, the urn and the endless knot. At the bottom of the rug is a depiction of the wave and mountain motif (Mount Meru, the centre of the universe) with the white dots indicating spray and the snail-like ornaments foam. The top is decorated with hanging tassels, a pearl border and a meander border typical for pillar rugs. The unique design creates a focal point either in a contemporary interior or collector’s home.
The Art Deco period was an international design movement from 1920s-1940s. Art Deco rugs are characterized by experimentation with bold colors, angular lines, and the omission of heavy ornamentation. Walter Nichols was great American rug producers (the Art Deco rugs which he did not originate them) in Tientsin. The rugs made of wool and silk with bold vibrant colors and the pattern are pictorial scenes and trees, birds, clouds, mountains, dragons, butterfly and flowers. The production of Art Deco rugs started from 1910s-1950s and mostly with western influence.

I would like to share some photos of a very treasured piece of cloth, a block-printed cotton chintz in the indienne style. I am sure it is a piece of original Toile de Jouy; while I don't have any references to the exact same design, I have shown here details from a print which is remarkably similar in design, colour, proportions etc, featured in the book Toile De Jouy Printed Textiles in the Classic French Style by Riffel, Rouart & Walter. My assumption is that my fabric was most likely designed and printed at the same time, perhaps in the same range as the one pictured and described in the book, which was the fabric used in the factory Drawing room at Jouy. The fabric has been block printed with a series of small wood blocks, it is a polychrome print using six colours unlike the more well known monochrome printed genre toiles. At the time, green could only be produced on cotton by first printing with indigo for blue, then over-painting with yellow to produce a fresh green (it was possible to produce a dark, khaki-like green, but not a bright green on cotton). You can see this in photo where the yellow dye has extended slightly beyound the blue on a leaf, and on the reverse of the fabric. You can also see where the edges of the blocks were lined up, with a slight overlapping of the stippled background dots where the block was laid next to the previously printed section, see photo . I love the last photo, showing the most ancient dainty darn, almost impossible to see with the naked eye, and very effective a repair it is, especially as the chintz retains quite a stiff starch glaze over the darn. I don't know much about contemporary glazes or laundry techniques, but it looks as though it was re-glazed or starched after the darn.

Eagles, gazelles, lions and peacocks in all their glory – animals bring to life the textiles in which society’s elites once clothed themselves. These luxury fabrics are material testimony to an aristocratic culture. Their representations play on hunting as a privilege of the nobility or on the concept of courtly love. Drawing on literary texts […]
