Rectangle Coral / Salmon Pink Hand Knotted Pile Antique 1920s Allover Floral Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the elegance and bold coloration characteristic of early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco production. The striking field color, a deep, saturated salmon Pink color, provides a vibrant foundation for the scattered floral motifs.

The design utilizes an open, minimalist approach, allowing the rich wool texture to speak for itself. The pattern is defined by delicate, stylized blossoms and scrolling vines, presenting an allover rugs pattern that avoids a central medallion, offering versatility in placement. The secondary palette introduces rich contrasts, featuring goldenrod yellow, pale sky blue, and creamy ivory against the dominant field.

Framing the vibrant field is a robust, wide border rendered in a deep, highly contrasting indigo blue. This border is intricately detailed with traditional Chinese fretwork and repeating floral cartouches, providing structural definition. Given its elongated dimensions, this piece is perfectly suited among hallway runner rugs, designed to anchor and define transitional spaces with luxurious color and pile.

Woven from high-quality hand-knotted wool, this rug retains the superb condition and rich patina expected of fine antique rugs from this period. Its combination of sophisticated coloration and enduring craftsmanship makes it a compelling acquisition for collectors seeking rare examples of early 20th-century decorative textiles. See less
