Antique Silk Chinese Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1925. This exceptional piece exemplifies the transitional period of Chinese weaving, where traditional motifs were simplified and rendered in luxurious silk. The high knot density and lustrous pile confirm its status among the finest antique rugs produced during the Republican era. The field presents a striking contrast, utilizing a luminous ground of ivory beige cream against highly saturated geometric and stylized floral elements. The palette is carefully curated, featuring deep indigo and vibrant chartreuse accents that define the central medallion and corner spandrels, lending the piece a distinctly modern sensibility for its time. Characteristic of the Art Deco influence beginning to permeate Chinese design in the 1920s, the overall composition balances formality with bold, abstract geometry.
