Coral Chinese - Art Deco Antique Wool Knotted 1920s Room Size Rectangle Rug

Coral Chinese - Art Deco Antique Wool Knotted 1920s Room Size Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece captures the aesthetic transition of the early 20th century, merging traditional Chinese weaving techniques with the bold, modern sensibilities of the Art Deco movement. The generous proportions of this room size example make it an ideal foundation for a sophisticated interior. The composition features a striking contrast between the luminous, expansive central field—rendered in a soft, sun-bleached hue—and the deep, dramatic black of the primary border. The transition is mediated by a highly stylized, geometric band of variegated maroon and rose tones, characteristic of the period's departure from classical symmetry. A defining characteristic is the masterful use of color, particularly the central field's rare and desirable coral color.
