Floral Green Antique 1920s Wool Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece captures the vibrant aesthetic of the early 20th century, representing the pinnacle of Chinese Art Deco design. The bold, open field and saturated palette are hallmarks of the period, making it a highly desirable example among antique rugs.
The mesmerizing field is rendered in a rich, saturated teal—a sophisticated green color that provides a dramatic, expansive backdrop for the stylized botanical elements. This deep hue contrasts sharply with the wide, striking magenta border, creating a visual tension that is characteristic of the Art Deco movement’s departure from traditional aesthetics.
Employing an asymmetrical layout favored during the 1920s, the design features trailing vines, delicate butterflies, and large, expressive blossoms that appear scattered across the surface. The composition is dynamic yet balanced, showcasing the intricate hand-knotting technique used to create these exquisite floral rugs with their characteristic high-low pile texture.
Constructed from high-quality wool, the pile remains luxurious and dense, offering both durability and softness underfoot. Its generous dimensions classify it as a true room size rugs, perfectly suited to anchor a sophisticated living space or formal dining area with historical elegance and unparalleled color.
