rectangle Chinese - Art Deco Antique Wool Coral Room Size 1920s Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the elegance of early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco design, blending traditional motifs with the bold, saturated color palettes favored during the period. It is a stunning example of antique rugs from this transitional era.
The central field is dominated by a rich, deeply saturated tone, falling within the spectrum of salmon coral pink color rugs. Against this luxurious ground, an elaborate display of Chinoiserie vessels overflows with blossoming branches and symbolic flora. The composition is highly naturalistic, demonstrating the technical skill of the weavers.
The dynamic interplay of colors—vibrant pinks, pale yellows, and cool greens—lends depth to the design. The border provides a dramatic counterpoint, utilizing a striking turquoise ground that frames the central scene beautifully. This rug is a masterful representation of the enduring appeal of floral rugs in Chinese weaving traditions.
Woven from fine wool, the dense pile retains its original luster, contributing to the rug's overall visual warmth. Its generous proportions classify it among room size rugs, making it an ideal anchor piece for a sophisticated interior seeking historical gravitas and unparalleled color.
The clear red field displays numerous Chinese vases and related objects with elaborate, colorful flowers, within a steel blue border of realistic lotuses. The pattern is asymmetric as to be expected from the Art Deco rugs from China. The Chinese color is the perfect juxtaposition to allow the classic deco motifs to truly stand out in the most artistic way.
