Antique Art Deco Room Size Wool Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1925. This exceptional piece captures the transitional aesthetic of the mid-1920s, blending geometric Art Deco structure with Chinoiserie elegance. Its expansive dimensions qualify it as one of our premier room size rugs, perfect for anchoring a grand living space.
The luxurious, hand-knotted wool pile showcases a field dominated by a subtle, luminous ivory color, providing a neutral yet rich foundation. This light central ground is dramatically framed by a wide, solid border in a deep aubergine or plum hue, a sophisticated contrast typical of the period’s bolder color pairings.
Deviating from traditional symmetry, the design features a single, stylized flowering tree emerging from a decorative blue and white jardinière in the lower quadrant. While the overall composition is distinctly modern, the use of flora and geometric cornerwork subtly references traditional oriental rugs techniques adapted for the Western market.
Woven during the height of the Art Deco movement, this rug represents a significant moment in textile history when global influences converged to create a new, streamlined luxury. It remains an outstanding example among our curated collection of fine antique rugs, offering both historical value and immediate decorative impact.
