Antique Rectangle Floral Medallion 1930s Wool Ivory Beige Cream White Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century weaving represents the finest quality found among antique rugs of the period. Its generous proportions suggest it was commissioned for a grand interior, reflecting the transitional aesthetic of Chinese Art Deco design.

The expansive field is rendered in subtle tones of ivory Beige Cream White, providing a lustrous, neutral ground that maximizes light within a space. The hand-knotted wool pile exhibits a soft sheen typical of high-quality Chinese production from this era, emphasizing the restrained elegance of the overall composition.

Defined by a striking navy blue border, the rug features traditional Chinese motifs, including stylized pagodas and blossoming branches in the corners. This dramatic contrast between the deep indigo and the pale field makes the piece a powerful anchor, perfectly suited for a room size setting where scale and visual impact are paramount.

Scattered across the field and forming the central medallion are delicate arrangements of vessels and stylized blossoms, characteristic of refined Chinese floral rugs. These motifs are executed with a minimalist grace, ensuring the aesthetic remains sophisticated and uncluttered, a hallmark of the Art Deco influence on traditional Asian weaving. See less
