Antique 1920s Hand-Knotted Wool Floral Oval Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional hand-knotted piece embodies the elegance of early 20th-century design, characterized by its distinctive Chinese Art Deco aesthetic. The sophisticated use of negative space and stylized motifs places it among the finest examples of antique rugs from the period. The central field is dominated by a luminous, expansive tone, utilizing a nuanced palette of ivory beige cream white that provides a striking contrast to the dramatic outer border. Delicate, flowing lines suggest clouds or water, while stylized vases and flowering branches anchor the corners of the composition, lending an air of restrained asymmetry. A deep, nearly black border frames the composition, providing visual weight and depth.
