Antique Chinese - Art Deco Chinese Allover Floral Purple 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of Chinese Art Deco weaving captures the transitional aesthetic of the period, moving away from traditional dense patterns toward open, dramatic fields. The piece is characterized by its striking palette, centered on a rich, saturated purple field, a hue highly prized in the early 20th century. The design utilizes the characteristic Art Deco approach of asymmetrical balance and bold color blocking. A deep indigo border frames the purple field, creating a powerful visual contrast. Scattered across the field and corners are stylized floral sprays, vases, and symbolic objects, rendered with a graphic clarity that distinguishes these early 20th-century Chinese productions.
