Antique Art Deco Hallway Runner Wool Navy Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This piece exemplifies the fusion of early 20th-century modernism with traditional Oriental design, a hallmark of the Art Deco period. The bold, graphic lines and simplified iconography distinguish it from earlier, densely patterned antique rugs. The central field is dominated by a rich, saturated navy blue, providing a dramatic backdrop for the stylized mythological creatures. This deep hue, often sought after in collectible textiles, places it among the finest blue color rugs of the era. The contrast with the bright yellow-gold dragons and the soft tan border is striking. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the runner features dynamic depictions of imperial dragons winding through the composition, flanking a central phoenix motif.
