Wool Rectangle 1935 Chinese Antique Knotted – Art Deco Room Size Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1935. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco piece represents the zenith of early 20th-century weaving, characterized by its luxurious wool pile and sophisticated design palette. It is a prime example of high-quality antique rugs crafted during this period of cultural transition, blending traditional Eastern motifs with the bold aesthetics of the West.

The commanding field is rendered in a saturated indigo, providing a dramatic backdrop for the delicate motifs scattered across the surface. This striking use of color is characteristic of the Art Deco era, emphasizing bold contrast and depth. The rug’s primary hue establishes it as a superb example of blue color rugs from the period, offering a rich foundation that retains its visual strength despite the passage of time.

Framed by a sweeping, curvilinear border in pale gold, the design features lush baskets overflowing with naturalistic floral sprays and elegant ribbons executed in warm tones of rose, saffron, and russet. Given its generous dimensions, this piece functions perfectly as one of the highly desirable room size rugs, capable of anchoring a major living space with its presence and defining the scale of a sophisticated interior.

While the border is highly pictorial and detailed, the central field maintains a structured elegance through a repeating, small-scale geometric floral motif. This balanced composition avoids a central medallion, opting instead for an allover rugs structure that allows the eye to travel seamlessly across the deep blue expanse, confirming its status as a masterpiece of 1930s Chinese weaving.
