Nichols Chinese rugs are Art Deco rugs made by Walter Nichols, an American who established factories in China during the 1920s and 1930s. The rugs are known for their thick pile, firm weave, and modern designs that combine traditional Chinese motifs with open, asymmetrical patterns and unusual color combinations. They feature rich jewel tones like magenta, turquoise, emerald, ruby, and violet. Common design elements include pictorial scenes, trees, clouds, mountains, dragons, birds, and exotic flowers.
