Antique Rectangle Wool Hand Knotted Pile Floral 1920s Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This remarkable Art Deco piece captures the exuberance of the Jazz Age. The field is dominated by a saturated, velvety hue, placing it among the most desirable coral pieces of the period. The rich color provides a dramatic backdrop for the cascading floral design. The design employs an open composition typical of 1920s Chinese production, featuring large, naturalistic chrysanthemum and peony sprays. These vibrant blossoms frame the central expanse, contrasting sharply with the geometric, stepped border pattern. This careful balance between organic and structured elements defines the aesthetic of these sought-after floral rugs. Hand-knotted using high-quality wool, the pile retains a luxurious, deep texture that beautifully absorbs and reflects light, enhancing the intensity of the coral tone.
