2.5x2.5 Vintage Nichols Art Deco round rug mat featuring a potted tree of life design with clouds and stylized vines in multiple colors

Round, rooted, and quietly radiant

A petite circle of night tones and garden color, bringing a pause to the room the moment feet find it.

From studio corners to bedside

A small radius with a long memory

Nichols nuance

Small spaces deserve presence. The 2.5x2.5 Vintage Nichols Art Deco Round Rug Mat gathers color—jet black, jade, sapphire, terracotta, dusty rose, aubergine—into a single moment that feels finished without crowding the floor. The floating border and potted tree of life motif read as art underfoot, guiding the eye and grounding the scatter of daily life.

Quiet impact

At just 2'4" x 2'5", it slips beside a bed, under a plant stand, or by a favorite chair, adding warmth where people pause. Even original pile height makes it welcoming to step on, while its round form softens hard lines in old floorboards or new tile. Professionally cleaned and ready for in‑home use, it carries the easy grace of a well‑kept vintage find.

For the collector who lives with their pieces

Someone who wants a true 1930s Chinese Nichols Art Deco accent that brings history to an everyday landing spot.

Where it settles

Place it at a bedside, entry catchall, or reading chair to frame a daily ritual with color and shape.
