Chinese 1920s Purple Wool Knotted - Art Deco Room Size Rectangle Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the height of the Art Deco period in Chinese weaving, blending traditional Eastern iconography with the bold, saturated color palettes favored in the West. It is a stunning example among fine antique rugs. The luxurious, hand-knotted wool pile showcases an extraordinarily deep and vibrant field color—a rich magenta that falls into the purple color spectrum. This dramatic hue is contained by a broad, highly contrasting border of shimmering gold, a characteristic Art Deco choice that maximizes visual impact and defines the rugs striking geometry. The design employs sparse, asymmetrical arrangements of classic Chinese elements, including delicate cherry blossoms and bamboo stalks.
