Knotted Chinese – Art Deco Antique 1920s Wool Small Scatter Size Rectangle Green Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the sophisticated fusion of traditional Chinese weaving techniques with the bold, modern aesthetics of the Art Deco period. As a treasured item within our collection of antique rugs, it captures the transitional design sensibilities of the early 20th century.
The palette is immediately striking, centered on a luminous celadon field—a sought-after shade among green color rugs from this era. This central panel is framed by a rich, deeply saturated gold border, creating a dramatic contrast that highlights the plush, high-quality wool pile characteristic of fine Chinese production.
The design features an elegant, asymmetrical arrangement of trailing vines and oversized blossoms, hallmarks of the Art Deco interpretation of floral rugs. These stylized elements, rendered in vibrant magenta, lavender, and soft yellow, spill gracefully across the frame, softening the geometry of the rectangular field.
Measuring a convenient dimension, this piece is categorized as a small scatter size rug, making it ideal for placement in an entryway, dressing room, or as an accent piece to define a smaller space. Its excellent condition and historical provenance ensure it remains a significant acquisition for collectors seeking authentic 1920s Chinese Art Deco textiles.
