Antique Floral Wool Hand Knotted Pile Coral 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century weaving represents the height of the Chinese Art Deco period, characterized by its striking color palette and simplified, modern aesthetic. It joins our curated collection of antique rugs that define the era. The expansive field is rendered in a rich, saturated coral tone, providing a luxurious backdrop for the pictorial elements. This specific shade, often referenced as coral color, was highly fashionable in the 1920s and 1930s, offering warmth without excessive formality. The main field is framed by a bold, wide border in deep teal, creating a dramatic, geometric contrast typical of the Art Deco movement. Departing from traditional centralized medallion formats, the design features a highly stylized, asymmetrical bouquet of blossoms cascading from a dark blue vase.
