Antique Art Deco Room Size Wool Green Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of Art Deco weaving captures the transitional elegance of the early 20th century. The expansive field is dominated by a luminous, saturated green, characteristic of the era’s bold palette. Such pieces are highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs.
The remarkable clarity of the central panel is achieved through a minimalist approach, allowing the rich, mossy hue to define the space. This specific shade of jade offers a vibrant counterpoint to the more traditional palettes found in earlier Oriental weaving, placing it firmly among the most desirable green color rugs.
A delicate, asymmetrical vine of blooming flowers and slender leaves frames the field, executed in subtle tones of dusty rose, mauve, and cream. The simplified rendering of these botanical elements, combined with the thick, luxurious wool pile, reflects the nascent influence of modernist rugs on traditional Chinese weaving centers.
Woven to a generous scale, this piece functions perfectly as a defining element in a contemporary interior or a period setting. Its dimensions classify it among the classic room size rugs, providing substantial coverage while maintaining an airy, open aesthetic that defines the best of the Art Deco period.
