Rectangle 1920s Coral Wool Antique Hand Knotted Pile Rug

Rectangle 1920s Coral Wool Antique Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving features a deeply saturated Coral field, which places it among the most sought-after Coral color rugs of the period. The rich, dense color provides a dramatic backdrop characteristic of the Art Deco movement's embrace of bold, singular hues. The design is defined by a striking contrast between the vast, unadorned central expanse and the highly detailed, naturalistic border. Rendered in the Art Deco style popular during the 1920s, the border showcases lush, meandering vines, stylized bamboo, and large, open blossoms—likely peonies and chrysanthemums—executed in soft, contrasting tones.
