Antique Allover Floral Rectangle Wool Blue Hand Knotted Pile 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent example of early 20th-century weaving showcases the transition from traditional designs to the more expressive aesthetics of the Art Deco era. The field utilizes an allover pattern of delicate flora and fauna, characteristic of the period's naturalistic focus. The saturated main field features a striking, deep blue color that provides a dramatic backdrop for the scattered floral sprays and whimsical butterflies. This rich tone contrasts beautifully with the soft, blush-toned border, creating a visual depth typical of high-quality antique rugs from this decade. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool pile, this piece exhibits the superb craftsmanship expected of textiles created during the 1920s.
