Chinese - Art Deco Rectangle Knotted Antique Room Size Wool 1920s Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional textile exemplifies the transitional period when traditional Eastern craftsmanship began embracing Western modernism, defining the aesthetic of early 20th-century Chinese rugs. The field is dominated by a rich, muted seafoam green, providing a sophisticated backdrop for the highly stylized central oval medallion. This design choice, characteristic of the period, features delicate vases and symbolic objects encircled by vibrant, naturalistic floral rugs that contrast beautifully against the wool pile. This piece is a prime example of the innovative Chinese Art Deco rugs movement. Woven with high-quality wool, the rug exhibits the lustrous sheen and soft handle prized in early 20th-century Chinese production.
