Nichols Chinese Art Deco Rug |
The most recognizable rugs from the 1920s and 1930s are Chinese rugs made by Walter Nichols. These rugs were made primarily during the Art Deco movement, were usually made out of wool and silk and depicted floral designs in rich, bold colors.
After World War One, Walter Nichols arrived in China and created his art deco designed rugs using the Chinese rug making principals and practices and incorporating all the usual and traditional Chinese elements but in the new modernist deco way. Often clashing colour combinations were characteristic of the Nichols rug and it is this which I personally love most. It is no surprise that current interior design trends have picked up on these incredible carpets.
