Antique Floral Wool Hand Knotted Pile Coral / Salmon Pink 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century weaving showcases the dramatic, open field designs popular during the Art Deco period. The rich, saturated field color, best described as reddish in nature, provides a luxurious backdrop for the stylized botanical elements.

Hand-knotted from fine wool, the plush pile emphasizes the depth and texture of the dye work. The composition features an asymmetrical arrangement of blooming clusters, a hallmark of the Chinese Art Deco aesthetic. This striking floral pattern uses vibrant secondary colors—mustard yellows, soft blues, and sage greens—to define the blossoms against the deep ground.

Dating from the 1930s, this piece represents a sophisticated fusion of traditional Chinese motifs and Western Art Deco sensibilities. Its age and exceptional preservation make it a noteworthy addition to any collection of antique rugs. The clarity of the design and the high quality of the knotting speak to the masterful craftsmanship of the era.

While visually impactful, the dimensions of this piece (3ft x 4.1ft) render it a versatile small scatter size rug, perfect for an entryway, bedside accent, or placed beneath a small occasional table. Its deeply saturated color and bold design ensure that this rug functions not merely as floor covering, but as a singular statement of historical artistry. See less
