Antique Chinese Art Deco Wool Yellow / Gold Orange Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent piece exemplifies the height of the early 20th-century weaving tradition that emerged from Chinese rugs. The vibrant field color, which shifts between deep gold and soft orange, provides a stunning canvas for the stylized, naturalistic motifs that define the era.

The distinctive palette is immediately arresting, featuring a rich, saturated ground color that categorizes it among the most sought-after gold orange color rugs. The design adheres closely to the aesthetic principles of the Chinese Art Deco rugs, characterized by open fields and bold, asymmetrical arrangements of flora and fauna, moving away from traditional dense patterns.

Elegant sprays of blossoming branches, rendered in deep blues, teals, and subtle mauves, sweep across the expansive field, often accompanied by delicate butterflies—a classic symbol of joy and longevity in Asian iconography. As a genuine example of antique rugs, the wool pile retains a beautiful luster and softness, indicative of the quality materials used a century ago.

Framed by a wide, contrasting border featuring stylized vine work in muted browns and taupes, the composition achieves remarkable balance. Its substantial dimensions classify it as a true room size rugs, making it perfectly suited to anchor a primary living space or grand dining hall, offering both historical depth and sophisticated warmth.
