Hand Knotted Pile Blue Floral 1920s Large Rectangle Antique Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the refined elegance of early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco design. Crafted from fine wool with a luxurious pile, its construction speaks to the enduring quality expected of antique rugs from this transitional period. The composition is defined by its striking, almost ethereal blue color, which dominates the expansive central field. This subtle, powder-blue hue provides a serene, minimalist backdrop for the sparse, yet highly detailed, pictorial elements. The careful contrast with the soft, blush-toned border enhances the overall visual tranquility and depth of the design. Characteristic of the period, the design utilizes asymmetrical placement of delicate imagery.
