Antique Wool 1920s Green Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco piece captures the luxurious aesthetic of the Jazz Age. The design utilizes a striking contrast between the luminous gold border and the serene field, typical of high-quality antique rugs from this period.
The expansive central field is rendered in a sophisticated sage or celadon hue, a color highly prized in 1920s interiors. The plush, hand-knotted wool pile catches the light, creating a dynamic sheen that shifts across the surface, enhancing the depth of the green color rugs.
Trailing vines of delicate blossoms—rendered in soft pinks, blues, and muted yellows—gracefully frame the inner field. This naturalistic, open composition is a hallmark of the Art Deco movement, moving away from dense traditional patterns toward minimalist elegance.
Given its substantial dimensions, this piece functions beautifully as a central room size rug, anchoring a large living space or formal dining area. It remains a superb example of early 20th-century decorative art, offering both historical value and timeless sophistication.
Condition: Good.
