In the areas where the red/blue wool ratio is higher, the pile seems to exude a red light, as if filtering through a blue layer. This painterly treatment of wool color is fairly unique to this puzzling group of Chinese carpets, which often contain hidden geometric motifs similar to weaver’s marks, perhaps identifying the carpet with a specific atelier or weaver. Many of these carpets were sourced directly in China, indicating that this type was probably not intended for export but rather the result of a local commission.

As most of them were sourced directly in China one is led to think that they weren’t intended as export items but rather to satisfy a local commission. They are almost always woven in small formats, sometimes embellished by longevity ideograms or other auspicious symbols. The thicker weave is characteristic of the rugs woven during the Art Deco period.

Some of these extremely rare pieces are known to have been designed by artists such as Betty Joel, who would then commission the weaving to American companies with headquarters in China such as Nichols or Fette. The carpet illustrated here is distinguished by an open field decorated around its perimeter by geometric motifs in a manner typical of the Art Deco period. The subtle palette of violet, beige, salmon and forest green is far removed from the traditional Chinese use of colour, conveying a profoundly European sensibility. This would indicate that it was specially commissioned to an unknown designer for an Art Deco interior.

Carpets of this type are representative of an early 20th century ‘Minimalist or Abstract’ style which seems to characterize a cluster of Chinese weavings of the period, also seen on the simple forms and decoration of some ceramic vessels. Chinese Modernism extends itself to various media, ranging from furniture to objects, and is indicative of an adaptation of Chinese traditional forms to new color ways and iconographies.

These are inscribed in circles at the centre of which there is a human image, possibly the person responsible for the future. Indeed it feels like a sort of roulette where destiny is made of pure chance! Surrounding the circles are radiating flames depicting the rays of the sun. This pictorial composition is absolutely unique for Chinese carpets, indicating that it had been commissioned for a special occasion or place.
