Antique Large Chinese - Art Deco Chinese Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece represents the height of the Chinese Art Deco movement, merging traditional Far Eastern symbolism with the bold, graphic sensibilities of the Jazz Age. It stands as a testament to the enduring quality found in the finest antique rugs of the period.

The rug is immediately captivating due to its saturated and deeply luxurious field color, a brilliant fuchsia that falls within the spectrum of vibrant pink field tones. This intense ground serves as a dramatic backdrop for the stylized floral sprays and scrolling vines rendered in contrasting hues of pale gold, cool grey, and subtle sage green, creating visual depth and energy.

Unlike earlier, more centralized Chinese compositions, this carpet utilizes a dense allover design where stylized peonies, chrysanthemums, and mythical cloud bands interweave seamlessly across the entire surface. The corners feature sophisticated cartouches containing geometric honeycomb patterns, providing a structured counterpoint to the organic fluidity of the main motifs.

Woven to an impressive room size scale, this Art Deco masterpiece is designed to command a space, offering both historical significance and unparalleled decorative impact. Its bold aesthetic and superb craftsmanship make it a rare and highly desirable acquisition for collectors seeking authentic 1920s elegance and color saturation. See less
