Knotted Rectangle Wool Coral Antique 1920s Small Scatter Size Chinese - Art Deco Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece represents the height of the Chinese Art Deco movement, a period when traditional weaving techniques merged seamlessly with modern Western aesthetic demands. As a genuine example of antique rugs, its construction and palette speak to the sophisticated tastes of the early 20th century.

The deep, saturated field is rendered in a magnificent shade of rich coral, providing a dramatic backdrop for the stylized motifs. This vibrant hue places it among the most sought-after coral color rugs from the period, demonstrating the Chinese weavers' mastery of complex dyeing processes. The plush wool pile enhances the depth and luxurious texture of the surface.

The design employs an open, asymmetrical layout, characteristic of the Art Deco sensibility, allowing the rich field color to dominate. Delicate sprays of stylized blossoms—including chrysanthemums and peonies—cluster around the edges, defining a central, unadorned space. These highly detailed floral rugs showcase a sophisticated blend of traditional Chinese iconography and simplified modern form.

Given its dimensions, this piece falls into the category of small scatter size rugs, making it an ideal accent for an entryway, bedside, or intimate sitting area. Its enduring quality and striking visual presence ensure that this 1920s Chinese Art Deco rug remains a timeless statement piece, perfectly bridging Eastern artistry and Western design innovation.
