Antique Art Deco Room Size Wool Red Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century design captures the vibrant aesthetic of the Art Deco movement combined with traditional Chinoiserie motifs. Its generous dimensions classify it perfectly as a room size rug, ideal for anchoring a grand living space or formal dining room. The composition is defined by a dramatic color contrast: a saturated, expansive field of deep red is framed by a broad, muted border. The intensity of the central color provides a powerful foundation for the delicate floral sprays woven throughout. This striking hue is a sophisticated take on red color rugs popular during the era. The open field is sparsely populated with naturalistic, sprawling floral branches and delicate blossoms rendered in soft, neutral tones. A pair of stylized butterflies hovers near the center, adding movement and depth.
