1920s Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Wool Floral Antique Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the sophisticated design trends of the early 20th century, merging traditional Chinese iconography with the open compositions favored by the Art Deco movement. Woven from luxurious hand-knotted wool pile, this is a superb example of antique rugs from the period. The palette is dominated by a striking use of blue color rugs, featuring a rich indigo border that dramatically frames the expansive, lighter blue field. This subtle tonal variation provides depth, allowing the intricate, naturalistic motifs to float gracefully across the surface without overwhelming the viewer. The design showcases delicate, asymmetrical branches laden with blossoms, butterflies, and hanging baskets, characteristic of refined Chinese floral rugs.
