Antique Floral Wool Hand Knotted Pile Red 1930s Rug. This attractive example of early 20th-century weaving showcases the dramatic, open field designs popular during the Art Deco period. The rich, saturated field color, best described as red in nature, provides a luxurious backdrop for the stylized botanical elements. Format: rectangular Hand-knotted from fine wool, the plush pile emphasizes the depth and texture of the dye work. The composition features an asymmetrical arrangement of blooming clusters, a hallmark of the Chinese Art Deco aesthetic. This striking floral pattern uses vibrant secondary colors—mustard yellows, soft blues, and sage greens—to define the blossoms against the deep ground. Dating from the 1930s, this piece represents a sophisticated fusion of traditional Chinese motifs and Western Art Deco sensibilities.
