Chinese Antique - Art Deco Rectangle Room Size Wool Knotted 1920s Coral Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent example of a Chinese Art Deco weaving captures the vibrant aesthetics of the 1920s. Defined by its striking coral field and contrasting border, this room size piece is a superb representation of the period's departure from traditional symmetry. The design features an exquisite, naturalistic tableau of flowering trees and exotic birds, rendered in a rich palette of coral tones. The composition focuses on dynamic, painterly vignettes, making it a compelling example among floral rugs of this era. Hand-knotted in fine wool, the quality of the weave suggests a high-status commission, typical of the best export pieces produced in Chinese rugs workshops during the early Republican period.
