1920s Rectangle Purple Hand Knotted Pile Floral Antique Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco piece captures the dramatic aesthetic of the Jazz Age. Its bold central field is a testament to the era's love for saturated color, placing it among the most sought-after purple color rugs. Typical of the finest Art Deco production, the design eschews traditional symmetry for a more naturalistic, trailing composition. Delicate branches laden with blossoms and foliage spill inward from the subtle border onto the rich purple ground, showcasing the sophisticated use of negative space characteristic of floral rugs from this period. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the pile retains a luxurious texture and sheen, reflecting the light beautifully across the deep field.
