Antique Art Deco Chinese Allover Floral Navy 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the transitional design period of the 1920s, blending traditional Chinese motifs with the bold, modern aesthetic of Art Deco. It is a stunning example of antique rugs from this highly sought-after era, prized for their quality and distinctive aesthetic.

The expansive, deeply saturated field is rendered in a rich, velvety navy blue. This dramatic ground provides a striking contrast to the vibrant, autumnal palette of the scattered floral sprays and trailing vines. The masterful use of deep indigo and sapphire tones defines this category of blue color rugs, offering a depth that shifts beautifully under changing light.

The composition is framed by a wide border of russet red, accented by thin taupe lines, creating a powerful visual frame. The design features large, naturalistically rendered chrysanthemums, peonies, and stylized oak leaves, which spill elegantly from the border onto the central field, maintaining an intentional asymmetry characteristic of the era's departure from strict formality.

Woven with a luxurious, thick pile typical of the finest Chinese production of the period, this textile offers both visual depth and tactile richness. Its generous dimensions make it an ideal room size rug, capable of anchoring a sophisticated living space or formal dining area with historical elegance and enduring style. See less
