Wool Rectangle Red 1920s Floral Antique Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This striking piece exemplifies the height of Chinese Art Deco weaving, characterized by its dramatic use of negative space and saturated color. The central field is rendered in a deep, rich hue, perfectly captured by the red color palette. This bold combination of red and mustard gold was highly sought after in the glamorous interiors of the Jazz Age. The design features an asymmetrical arrangement of blooming botanicals and auspicious symbols, including stylized vases and birds in flight. These intricate, sprawling floral rugs patterns frame the expansive field, offering a visual feast of finely articulated details in contrasting greens, blues, and soft reds against the vibrant gold border. The composition skillfully balances traditional Chinese iconography with the simplified lines of modern design.
