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.
