Red 1920s Antique Wool Hand Knotted Pile Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This remarkable piece exemplifies the finest execution of early 20th-century Chinese weaving, blending traditional motifs with the open field aesthetics popular in the Art Deco era. As a genuine example of antique rugs, its wool pile retains a beautiful luster and depth, showcasing the meticulous hand-knotting technique. The expansive field is dominated by a deeply saturated, almost cinnabar hue, placing it firmly within the category of red color rugs. This intense background provides a dramatic canvas for the scattered, naturalistic iconography. The coloration is rich yet subtly variegated, a hallmark of high-quality dyes used during this period, contributing to the rug's overall visual warmth.
