Antique Rectangle Red Hand Knotted Pile 1920s Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional wool pile piece exemplifies the transitional aesthetic of the 1920s, merging traditional Far Eastern iconography with the bold, simplified color blocking favored by the nascent Art Deco movement. Its highly saturated field immediately draws the eye, establishing a powerful foundation among our collection of antique rugs. The central field is rendered in a magnificent, glowing hue that shifts between deep salmon and vibrant coral. This rich coral pink color is dramatically framed by a wide, contrasting border of deep forest green or teal, a juxtaposition that enhances the visual depth of the composition. The use of such intense, yet harmonious, colors is characteristic of high-quality Chinese production during this period.
