Rectangle Wool 1920s Antique Yellow / Gold Orange Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of antique rugs exemplifies the sophisticated design transition occurring in Chinese weaving during the early 20th century. Characterized by an open field and bold, simplified motifs, the piece reflects the influence of Western Art Deco sensibilities blended seamlessly with traditional Far Eastern iconography.

The primary visual impact is delivered by the intensely saturated field color, a brilliant hue situated between rich mustard and deep saffron. This vibrant ground provides a dramatic contrast for the stylized botanical elements rendered in deep indigo, plum, and subtle sage. Such powerful use of tonality places this piece among the most desirable gold yellow orange color rugs of the period, offering warmth and visual depth to any space.

The composition features a tall, slender arrangement of highly stylized foliage and blossoms emanating from the base and culminating in an architectural urn motif near the top. The use of negative space is deliberate and effective, allowing the eye to focus on the elegant, sweeping lines of the primary design. The density of the wool pile contributes to the luxurious sheen, enhancing the depth of the richly dyed colors.

Woven entirely in wool, this hand-knotted piece offers exceptional durability combined with a refined aesthetic suitable for modern interiors. Its dimensions suggest it was intended for an intimate setting, making it an ideal choice among Small Scatter Size Rugs (3ft x 5.06ft) or as a compelling vertical accent in a hallway or entryway. It remains a superb example of early Art Deco textile artistry and enduring quality. See less
