Large Wool Antique 1920s Hand Knotted Pile Floral Rectangle Purple Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Art Deco piece showcases the dramatic color sensibility of the era. The vast central field is dominated by a sumptuous, deeply saturated purple, offering a powerful example of purple color rugs from this period. The design employs a sophisticated open field composition, typical of early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco production. Delicate trailing vines and stylized urns spill inward from the wide, contrasting brown border, creating a sense of movement and asymmetry. This masterful use of floral rugs patterns avoids clutter, allowing the vibrant field color to remain the focal point. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the pile retains a luxurious sheen that enhances the depth of the dye work.
