Antique Large Wool - Manchester Yellow Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century weaving presents a sophisticated interpretation of the Chinese Art Deco aesthetic. The overall palette centers around a refined yellow color, featuring a luminous, rich yellow field that provides a striking, warm backdrop for the meandering floral designs. The open field showcases naturalistic sprays of blossoms and vines rendered in deep blues, soft pinks, and muted rusts. This sparse arrangement, where motifs appear suspended against the yellow ground, is characteristic of the Art Deco era's move toward less cluttered compositions. Given its dimensions, this piece qualifies as a truly large oversized rug, making it a commanding presence in any grand interior.
