Antique Art Deco Chinese Allover Floral Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco piece captures the bold, pictorial aesthetic that defined the early 20th century. Unlike traditional geometric patterns, this rug presents a dynamic, narrative scene of a flourishing garden, making it a highly desirable example among antique rugs of the period. The expansive field is rendered in a saturated, mesmerizing shade of coral, placing it firmly within the category of coral color rugs. Against this vivid backdrop, an idyllic water garden unfolds, populated by stylized lotus pads, flowering vines, and tall grasses, illustrating the Chinese reverence for natural symbolism and the Art Deco movement's preference for open space and expressive color.
