Antique Art Deco Chinese Floral, Medallion Black 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the high-style Art Deco period in Chinese weaving, characterized by a dramatic contrast between the field and the motifs. The overall design is a testament to the enduring appeal and craftsmanship found in fine antique rugs. The expansive, deeply saturated field provides a striking backdrop for the exuberant floral arrangements. This use of a solid, dark ground is a hallmark of sophisticated 1920s Chinese design, allowing the delicate pastel palette of the flowers—pinks, blues, and soft yellows—to truly emerge. The rich, almost velvety black color rugs field absorbs light beautifully, enhancing the dimensionality of the pile. A delicate, vine-like border, punctuated by large, stylized peonies and subtle Chinese lantern elements, frames the composition.
