1920s Purple Floral Large Wool Hand Knotted Pile Antique Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece captures the opulent aesthetic of the Art Deco era, characterized by its striking contrast and dramatic scale. The field is saturated in a rich, velvety purple color, creating a powerful foundation for the delicate design work. The design features an open field, allowing the deep hue to dominate, while naturalistic vines and scattered blossoms gracefully trail across the surface. This emphasis on organic elements aligns perfectly with the tradition of floral rugs. The vibrant emerald green border frames the central panel, providing a bold, unexpected counterpoint typical of early 20th-century Chinese production intended for Western markets. Hand-knotted using luxurious wool pile, the texture retains a soft sheen that enhances the depth of the color palette.
