Floral Wool 1920s Rectangle Green Antique Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the transitional period of early 20th-century weaving, blending traditional Chinese pictorial depth with the bold, saturated colors favored during the Art Deco era. Its lush field color is a sophisticated moss green color, providing a striking contrast to the deep berry border.

The design eschews geometric structure in favor of a naturalistic, painterly composition. A magnificent flowering tree dominates the central field, rendered in shades of rose, gold, and lavender. This style, characterized by open fields and asymmetrical compositions, is highly sought after among collectors of floral rugs from this period.

Hand-knotted from fine wool, the dense pile retains its luxurious texture and depth of color, a testament to the quality of early 20th-century craftsmanship. Given its generous proportions, this is a quintessential example of room size rugs, capable of anchoring a grand living space or formal dining room with historical elegance.

Beyond the primary flora, the border is enriched with symbolic elements such as stylized vases and auspicious medallions, adding layers of cultural meaning to the textile. This rare combination of vibrant color, complex motif, and superior condition makes this a distinguished acquisition for those seeking truly exceptional antique rugs. See less
