Hand Knotted Room Size Antique Chinese Walter Nichols Art Deco Wool Pile Rug

1920s Knotted Room Size Chinese - Art Deco Antique Wool Rectangle Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece is a prime example of the transitional period in textile design, capturing the shift toward modern aesthetics seen in art Deco style. As a genuine piece of antique rugs, it retains the luxurious wool pile and masterful knotting characteristic of the era. The expansive golden-tan field provides a luminous backdrop, perfectly suited for a room size format. This neutral ground is framed by a broad, sophisticated border rendered in a deep slate blue or gray, creating the high contrast favored by early 20th-century designers. The subtle abrash in the field speaks to the natural dyeing processes and the rug's considerable age.
