Antique Silk Chinese Allover Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1935. This exquisite example of 20th-century Chinese weaving is executed in luxurious silk, lending a remarkable sheen and clarity to the complex design. It is a highly collectible piece among antique rugs due to its exceptional condition and vibrant, yet balanced, color scheme. The field employs a desirable neutral ground, characteristic of fine Art Deco-era Chinese production.

The design is populated by mythological creatures rendered in deep indigo and cerulean tones, contrasting beautifully with the light field.
