Antique Wool Brown Earth Tone Yellow / Gold Orange Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece captures the essence of the Art Deco period, utilizing a sophisticated palette. The central field features a rich, saturated taupe, beautifully contrasted by a wide, glowing saffron border, placing it firmly within the category of brown earth tone color rugs. The design employs a striking open composition characteristic of early 20th-century Chinese Deco production. Delicate vines, stylized peonies, and fluttering butterflies cascade from the border into the field, demonstrating a masterful use of negative space. Such refined pieces are highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the pile retains a luxurious sheen that highlights the depth of the dye work.
