Floral Hand Knotted Pile Antique Rectangle Red 1920s Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece, dating from the height of the Art Deco era, showcases a deeply saturated field color. The rich, velvety wool pile is rendered in a striking hue, best described as red, providing a luxurious and dramatic backdrop for the stylized botanical elements. Characteristic of the period's blending of Western Deco aesthetics with traditional Chinese motifs, the design features large, open sprays of flowers. These gracefully trailing vines and blossoms, rendered in soft golds, pale greens, and subtle taupes, exemplify the bold, yet refined use of floral rugs popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Hand-knotted using high-quality wool, the textile possesses a substantial handle and a plush, resilient texture.
