Antique Rectangle Wool Hand Knotted Pile Floral 1920s Coral / Salmon Pink Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This remarkable Art Deco piece captures the exuberance of the Jazz Age. The field is dominated by a saturated, velvety hue, placing it among the most desirable salmon coral pink pieces of the period. The rich color provides a dramatic backdrop for the cascading floral design.
The design employs an open composition typical of 1920s Chinese production, featuring large, naturalistic chrysanthemum and peony sprays. These vibrant blossoms frame the central expanse, contrasting sharply with the geometric, stepped border pattern. This careful balance between organic and structured elements defines the aesthetic of these sought-after floral rugs.
Hand-knotted using high-quality wool, the pile retains a luxurious, deep texture that beautifully absorbs and reflects light, enhancing the intensity of the coral tone. Its substantial dimensions (8.1ft x 11.06ft) allow it to anchor a major living space, classifying it as one of our premier Room Size Rugs suitable for grand interiors.
This piece is an exceptional example of early 20th-century decorative weaving, demonstrating the fusion of traditional Asian motifs with Western Art Deco sensibility. The condition and provenance confirm its status as a highly collectible item, representing the finest examples of antique rugs available today.
