Antique Art Deco Chinese Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving perfectly captures the bold, luxurious spirit of the Art Deco movement. Its highly saturated palette and stylized iconography mark it as a highly desirable piece among antique rugs from the period. The composition is defined by its striking color contrast, featuring a rich, deep teal field—a sophisticated example of green color rugs from this era—set against a wide border rendered in vibrant magenta and berry tones. This juxtaposition of cool and warm hues creates immediate visual impact suitable for a statement interior. The open field is populated with traditional Chinese auspicious symbols, including stylized bats (representing happiness), swirling clouds, and circular Shou medallions denoting longevity.
