Chinese - Art Deco Knotted Antique Rectangle 1920s Room Size Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece represents the height of the Chinese Art Deco weaving tradition, blending traditional imperial iconography with the bold, saturated palette characteristic of the Jazz Age. Its deep field color immediately draws the eye, establishing it as a truly unique example among antique rugs. The rich, saturated field is rendered in a magnificent shade of coral, providing a dramatic backdrop for the mythological figures. Multiple stylized dragons, rendered in vibrant blues, yellows, and greens, swirl across the wool surface amidst auspicious cloud forms and flaming pearls, symbols traditionally associated with power and prosperity. While the composition features a strong central dragon motif, the surrounding figures are distributed to create a balanced, repeating structure.
