Antique Wool - Manchester Blue Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This striking example of Chinese Art Deco weaving captures the sophisticated aesthetic of the early 20th century. As a significant piece among antique rugs, its deep, saturated indigo field provides a dramatic contrast to the finely detailed motifs. The primary color palette centers on a rich, near-black blue, often referred to as Manchester Blue in the trade. This deep hue anchors the design, positioning it among the most sought-after blue color rugs. Stylized floral arrangements and symbolic vases, rendered in soft pinks, ochres, and light blues, float elegantly across the expanse. The composition is framed by an elaborate border system featuring multiple guard bands.
