Antique Chinese - Art Deco 1920s Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of the art Deco style captures the bold aesthetic shift occurring in Shanghai and Peking weaving centers during the early 20th century. The design moves away from dense, traditional patterns toward a more modern, open composition that emphasizes negative space and dramatic asymmetry. The composition is defined by its striking visual contrast: a deep, saturated red field is framed by an unusually wide, luminous border. Across this rich backdrop, highly stylized, vibrant floral motifs and traditional Chinese symbols drift, showcasing the characteristic use of open space and the soft, lustrous quality of the wool pile.
