Antique Large Wool - Manchester Ivory Beige Cream White Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1925. This exquisite piece represents the height of early 20th-century weaving, characterized by its luxurious Manchester wool pile and refined color palette. The rug is a superb example of antique rugs from this period, showcasing a sophisticated balance between traditional Chinese iconography and emerging Art Deco aesthetics. The expansive central field is rendered in a shimmering, slightly golden ivory beige cream white tone. This neutral ground provides a dramatic contrast for the scattered, naturalistic floral sprays and elegant vase motifs that populate the space. The use of negative space is deliberate, allowing the rich texture of the hand-knotted wool to take precedence over dense patterning.
