Antique Art Deco Medium Wool Red Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the transitional design period prevalent in Chinese rugs during the early 20th century. The deep, saturated field color provides a dramatic backdrop for the stylized natural imagery.
The luxurious, medium-pile wool is dyed in a rich, velvety shade, placing it among the most desirable rust red color rugs of the era. This intense hue is expertly framed by a wide, contrasting border of soft, muted seafoam green, a signature palette choice of the Art Deco movement.
The composition is elegantly asymmetrical, featuring flowing vines, blossoms, and stylized butterflies that define the perimeter and cluster dynamically near the center. These highly decorative elements classify this piece as a sophisticated example of floral rugs, blending traditional Eastern iconography with modern, simplified forms.
Hand-knotted with precision, this textile represents a superb convergence of high-quality materials and innovative design. Its excellent condition and historical significance make it a rare and valuable addition to any collection of fine antique rugs.
