Large Hand Knotted Pile Wool Rectangle Antique 1920s Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of antique rugs captures the transitional aesthetic of the early 20th century, combining traditional Chinese pictorial elements with a bold, saturated color palette favored by Western tastes. The expansive field is rendered in a mesmerizing shade of coral color, providing a vibrant, almost painterly backdrop for the delicate botanical imagery. This rich hue is dramatically framed by a wide border of deep olive green, creating a striking contrast that defines the rug's powerful presence and visual depth. Trailing vines, stylized peonies, and small songbirds cascade across the field, executed in subtle shades of gold, blue, and white.
