Hand Knotted Pile Coral / Salmon Pink Rectangle Wool 1920s Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional wool piece represents the height of early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco design. Its vibrant palette and stylized naturalism make it a superb example of antique rugs from this period, offering a sophisticated blend of Eastern motifs and Western aesthetic sensibilities.

The central field is dominated by a rich, saturated hue that shifts between deep coral and salmon pink, providing a striking backdrop for the meandering floral vines. The use of such bold, yet nuanced, coloration is characteristic of the period’s departure from traditional muted tones. Collectors seeking pieces defined by their brilliant saturation will appreciate this fine example among our salmon coral pink color rugs.

A dramatic contrast is achieved through the wide, deep indigo border, which frames the central field with an exuberant display of stylized peonies, chrysanthemums, and trailing foliage. The rendering of the blossoms is fluid and dimensional, utilizing subtle shading in lavender, pale blue, and mint green to give the impression of depth against the dark ground. The overall effect is one of lush, controlled elegance.

Woven with a substantial wool pile, this hand-knotted textile retains excellent condition commensurate with its age. Given its generous dimensions (8.1ft x 11.02ft), this piece is ideally suited for placement as one of our distinctive room size rugs, capable of anchoring a grand living space or formal dining area with its unparalleled color and historical presence.
