Rectangle Wool Hand Knotted Pile 1925 Antique Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1925. This exceptional example of antique rugs captures the transition between traditional Chinese design and the emerging Art Deco aesthetic of the 1920s. The dense, hand-knotted wool pile provides a luxurious texture, setting the stage for the dramatic coloration and minimalist composition. The field is dominated by a profound, saturated indigo, creating a deep, velvety canvas that elevates the delicate botanical elements. This specific shade of midnight blue is highly sought after in blue color rugs, offering both grounding depth and vibrant sophistication. The simple, darker border frames the composition without distraction, emphasizing the open nature of the design. Rendered in soft apricot, blush pink, and pale celadon, the motifs depict stylized branches of cherry blossoms and bamboo shoots.
