Green Antique Wool Floral Hand Knotted Pile 1920s Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece exemplifies the vibrant aesthetic of early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco production. The deep teal field, characteristic of high-quality green color rugs from this era, provides a dramatic backdrop for the highly pictorial scene featuring a traditional pavilion and stylized clouds. The composition is a masterful blend of traditional Chinese iconography and modern Art Deco sensibility. A stylized pavilion sits beneath flourishing branches of cherry blossom and bamboo, anchoring the asymmetrical design. Such detailed floral rugs often tell a story, here suggesting a serene garden landscape rendered in rich magenta, pale yellow, and lavender wools.
