Antique Wool Red Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the height of the Chinese Art Deco movement, characterized by its dramatic use of negative space and highly stylized naturalistic imagery. Such masterful textiles remain highly sought after among collectors of antique rugs. The central field is dominated by a rich, velvety crimson, which shifts subtly depending on the light, achieving the lustrous depth characteristic of high-quality wool pile from the 1920s. This striking red color is expertly balanced by the broad, olive-green border, creating a sophisticated palette that defined the aesthetic of the era. The substantial scale of this piece allows the design's dramatic negative space to fully articulate its visual power.
