Antique Chinese - Art Deco Coral 1925 Rug, Circa Date: 1925. This exceptional example of Chinese Art Deco weaving represents the pinnacle of early 20th-century design, merging traditional Eastern motifs with the geometric sensibilities of the West. Collectors seeking truly unique antique rugs will appreciate the sophisticated fusion of color and form present in this piece.

The luxurious, densely woven wool field is saturated in a rich claret hue, providing a dramatic backdrop for the sprawling floral design. This deep red tone leans toward the warm spectrum, making it an excellent example among salmon coral pink color rugs that defined the period's aesthetic. The deep indigo border provides a sharp, tailored frame, enhancing the depth of the central field.

The scale of this piece allows it to function as a commanding centerpiece in a grand living area or formal dining space. Its substantial dimensions place it firmly within the category of room size rugs, designed to anchor expansive interiors while offering a plush, inviting texture underfoot, characteristic of the finest Chinese production of the 1920s.

The design features a delicate, meandering vine and flower composition that covers the entire field, classifying it as one of the most elegant allover rugs of the era. This organic flow is brilliantly juxtaposed with the bold, angular geometric spandrels and corner treatments, a hallmark of the Art Deco movement's modern interpretation of classic Chinese motifs.
