Rectangle Chinese Wool Room Size - Art Deco 1920s Antique Coral Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving embodies the transition toward modern aesthetics, placing it firmly among desirable antique rugs. The Art Deco influence is evident in the bold color blocking and the simplified, yet elegant, composition.

The central field is dominated by a saturated, deep magenta or fuchsia hue, providing a dramatic backdrop for the corner motifs. This intense shade, often referred to as coral in the period, creates a luxurious, velvety texture in the wool pile. The juxtaposition of this vibrant core with the mint green border is a hallmark of the period's experimental use of color, appealing to collectors seeking coral color rugs.

Delicate trailing vines and stylized blossoms cascade inward from the border, softening the geometric structure of the design. These stylized floral rugs patterns, rendered in soft blues, creams, and pale pinks, demonstrate the skilled knotting technique characteristic of the finest Shanghai and Peking workshops of the era.

Measuring generously, this piece is categorized as a true room size format, making it ideally suited to anchor a primary living space or dining area. Its exceptional saturation and high-contrast palette ensure it remains a powerful statement piece, seamlessly blending historical provenance with contemporary design demands. See less
