Chinese Rectangle Knotted Room Size Antique Purple Wool - Art Deco 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco piece exemplifies the bold aesthetic shift of the period, moving away from traditional dense patterns toward open, pictorial compositions. Its generous dimensions classify it as a true room size rug, ideal for anchoring a sophisticated living space. The rug's most striking feature is its saturated color story. The central field is rendered in a mesmerizing, deep purple, a hue highly sought after in the 1920s, which provides a dramatic contrast to the wide, dark border. This powerful juxtaposition defines the rug's Art Deco character, placing it among the finest examples of purple color rugs from the era. Cascading branches and stylized blossoms adorn the perimeter, spilling elegantly onto the field.
