Antique Floral Wool Hand Knotted Pile Gray 1920s Rug

Antique Floral Wool Hand Knotted Pile Gray 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco carpet captures the sophisticated aesthetic of the early 20th century. Hand-knotted from luxurious wool, the design utilizes a vast, open field rendered in a subtle, atmospheric gray color that provides a perfect canvas for the asymmetrical motifs. Characteristic of the period's departure from traditional symmetry, the ornamentation is concentrated in the upper left and lower right corners. The upper quadrant features trailing grapevines and leaves, executed in soft shades of sage, blush, and ivory against a dark indigo border. This elegant use of naturalistic elements places it among the finest examples of floral rugs from the era.
