Hand Knotted Pile Rectangle Wool Floral Brown Earth Tone 1920s Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco design captures the dramatic asymmetry and bold color palette characteristic of the period. The hand-knotted wool pile offers a luxurious, high-low texture, defining it as a superior piece among antique rugs available today. The expansive central field is rendered in a sophisticated, warm tan that anchors the composition, providing a striking contrast to the deep black border. This use of natural, muted tones alongside vibrant accents perfectly embodies the elegance of brown earth tone rugs from this era. The color transition between the field and the border is softened by a delicate blue scalloped inner guard band.
