Antique Square Wool Blue Red Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional square piece exemplifies the height of Chinese Art Deco design, characterized by its dramatic use of color and open composition. The vivid red field provides a striking counterpoint to the deep navy border, a hallmark of high-quality blue color rugs from this period. The design is a sophisticated blend of traditional Chinese iconography and Western Art Deco sensibility. The expansive square field is sparsely adorned with delicate floral sprigs, drawing the eye toward the complex border. Within the border, stylized pagodas, flowering branches, and subtle landscape elements create a narrative scene, typical of the finest antique rugs of the early 20th century.
