Chinese Rectangle Wool Knotted Green – Art Deco Antique Room Size 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent example of Chinese weaving captures the essence of the 1920s Art Deco movement. Its generous dimensions classify it among the most desirable room size rugs available from this period, perfect for anchoring a grand interior space.
The central field is dominated by a vibrant, saturated apple green, a hue highly characteristic of the period’s departure from traditional palettes. This bold use of color makes it an exceptional piece among green color rugs, providing a striking contrast to the deep, rich burgundy border that frames the composition.
The border design eschews strict geometry in favor of naturalistic, asymmetrical renderings of flora and fauna. Delicate bamboo stalks, hanging lanterns, and scattered blossoms create a dynamic frame, positioning this piece firmly within the category of expressive floral rugs.
Woven with high-quality wool and exhibiting the characteristic luster of early 20th-century Chinese production, this piece represents a sophisticated fusion of Eastern craftsmanship and Western design sensibilities. It is a prized addition to any collection of exceptional antique rugs.
