Hand Knotted Pile Antique Blue 1920s Wool Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco rug captures the opulent spirit of the Jazz Age. The central field is saturated in a magnificent, inky blue hue, creating a profound visual depth that contrasts sharply with the rich, mossy brown border. The design features delicate, stylized branches bearing blossoms of pink, mauve, and gold, which gracefully frame the central void. This piece represents the finest craftsmanship found among antique rugs of the period, demonstrating a mastery of both color and composition. Traditional Chinese symbolism is subtly integrated through the depiction of auspicious vases and vessels in the corners, anchoring the floating floral sprays. A single, stylized bird motif rests elegantly in the center, lending movement to the otherwise static field.
