Hand Knotted Pile Floral 1920s Rectangle Wool Yellow Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century weaving presents a striking aesthetic defined by its saturated color palette and luxurious wool pile. It is a quintessential piece among our collection of antique rugs, showcasing the technical mastery of the period.
The expansive central field is rendered in a vibrant, sun-drenched hue, placing it firmly within the category of yellow color rugs. This bold use of color provides a dramatic contrast to the intricate, naturalistic vines and blossoms that gracefully traverse the space. The open composition and simplified background are characteristic of the refined Chinese Art Deco style prevalent during the 1920s.
A dynamic arrangement of trailing branches, peonies, and delicate blossoms defines the pattern, making it a superb example of floral rugs. The artistry is evident in the subtle shading and varied color application—deep indigo, soft pink, and burgundy—which brings a three-dimensional quality to the hand-knotted wool surface. Small birds are cleverly integrated into the winding vines, adding narrative depth.
Designed to command a space, this rectangular piece offers significant scale, making it ideal for grand interiors seeking room size rugs. The rich, deep red border frames the composition beautifully, grounding the bright field and ensuring this piece remains a timeless focal point, bridging traditional Chinese motifs with modern design sensibilities.
Condition: Good.
