Vintage Art Deco Chinese Oriental Rug 8’1” X 9’ 8” #8243

Description This circa 1940 Art Deco Chinese Oriental Rug measures 8’1” X 9’ 8”. It has a very pale brown field with a camel hair border. The field is a 2 toned tan brown field with a very light tan, going to ivory, curlique design. It has a very pale rose colored border with a pale brown almost ivory floral motif. This rug is woven very strangely. Standing and looking down on the rug the motif seems to be sculpted but when I got down on my knees and ran my hand over it, I discovered the field design isn’t sculpted at all. The pile is exactly the same height all over. The dyes, which are several shades of brown, with each other appear to be sculpted but it is the variation in color that gives that sculpted look. I’ve not seen a rug like this before. It is very cool and interesting. The rug is essentially perfect condition. It is full pile. It is clean and ready to go. The buyer pays the shipping with insurance of $200.00.
