Wool Floral Hand Knotted Pile Antique Large 1920s Rectangle Ivory Beige Cream White Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece is a hallmark of the Chinese Art Deco period, characterized by its open composition and sophisticated color palette. As one of our finest antique rugs, it represents the transition from classical Eastern design to modern Western aesthetics prevalent in the early 20th century. The expansive central field is rendered in a soft, luminous tone, achieving the desired effect of ivory beige cream white coloration. This subtle ground provides a striking contrast to the dramatic magenta border, which frames the composition with bold intensity. The generous use of negative space allows the elegant, trailing vine motifs to breathe and emphasizes the rug's refined simplicity.
