1920s Wool Room Size Chinese - Art Deco Yellow Rectangle Knotted Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco piece captures the transitional elegance of the early 20th century, merging traditional Eastern craftsmanship with the bold, modern aesthetic of the West. As a prime example among antique rugs, its visual impact is immediate and profound, characterized by clarity of design and striking color contrast.

The central field is dominated by a sumptuous, saturated shade of gold yellow color, providing a luminous and luxurious backdrop for the stylized decoration. This vibrant hue is sharply framed by a wide border rendered in a deep, striking magenta, a color pairing that exemplifies the dramatic and high-contrast preferences of the Art Deco era, ensuring the rug commands attention in any setting.

The design eschews traditional central medallions in favor of an open, asymmetrical arrangement of trailing vines and delicate blossoms rendered in rich blues, purples, and whites. These elegant, naturalistic elements are characteristic of Art Deco interpretations of Chinese motifs, creating a sense of fluid movement across the field. The inclusion of subtle vases and landscape elements anchors this piece within the tradition of floral rugs.

Woven to accommodate grander spaces, the dimensions classify this textile among desirable room size rugs, making it an ideal anchor for a sophisticated living area or dining room. The plush wool pile and enduring quality ensure that this 1920s masterpiece remains a functional work of art, offering both historical resonance and unparalleled decorative versatility for the modern collector.
