Hand Knotted Pile Wool Rectangle Antique 1920s Yellow Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece captures the opulent spirit of the Art Deco era, characterized by its dramatic, saturated field. The hand-knotted wool pile showcases a lustrous, deep saffron hue, placing it firmly within the desirable yellow color spectrum prized by designers of the period. The design features a beautifully balanced central medallion rendered as a vase overflowing with stylized blossoms and trailing vines. The composition avoids harsh geometry, favoring the graceful, naturalistic curves typical of Chinoiserie influence adapted for Western tastes. A muted secondary palette—comprising soft blues, lavender, and sage—provides a sophisticated contrast to the vibrant ground. As a room size rug, this piece commands attention, functioning as the defining element in a grand interior space.
