Hand Knotted Pile Wool Rectangle Purple 1920s Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece captures the opulent aesthetic of the Art Deco period, presenting a sophisticated example of antique rugs crafted from luxurious hand-knotted wool. The rich, velvety field is saturated in a deep, complex hue, placing it firmly within the category of purple. The expansive, open ground allows the saturated color to dominate, creating a dramatic backdrop for the stylized corner motifs. Four vibrant, asymmetrical bouquets burst forth from the corners, rendered in a palette of soft yellow, rose, and pale blue. This design choice, coupled with the subtle, tone-on-tone ghosting of additional motifs in the central field, ensures that the rug maintains visual interest across its impressive 8.08ft x 11.04ft dimensions.
