1920s Antique Wool Rectangle Coral / Salmon Pink Large Allover Floral Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent piece is characterized by its dramatic coloration and large scale, making it an imposing yet elegant foundation for a sophisticated interior. The plush wool construction speaks to the quality of early 20th-century craftsmanship, offering both durability and luxurious texture.
The primary field color, a nuanced blend of coral and salmon, provides a warm, saturated ground. This vibrant hue is beautifully offset by the deep indigo and pale blue accents used in the borders and the scattered motifs, creating a striking contrast that defines the rug’s character. The rarity of a primary field in this specific salmon Pink color enhances its collectibility and visual impact.
The design employs a graceful, open composition, featuring stylized peonies and flowering vines that float across the field. This arrangement, known as an allover pattern, ensures visual interest from every angle without relying on a dominant central medallion, offering a sense of airy movement and balance typical of the period’s transitional aesthetic.
Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, this textile retains a superb handle and rich patina consistent with its age. It represents a beautiful preservation of early 20th-century textile art, offering collectors an exceptional example of fine antique rugs suitable for contemporary placement where scale and color are paramount.
