Antique Chinese Floral Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century weaving showcases the distinctive artistry of Chinese rugs, moving away from traditional medallion formats toward more open, naturalistic designs favored during the Republican period. The composition is defined by a deep, saturated field, creating a striking backdrop characteristic of black color rugs from this era. Against this void, a lush, asymmetrical spray of blossoms and trailing vines ascends, establishing this piece firmly within the category of floral rugs. The palette is sophisticated yet vibrant, featuring soft ivory, blush pinks, and muted teal accents that highlight the dimensionality of the large peony and chrysanthemum motifs.
