Antique Chinese - Art Deco Small Scatter Size Wool Red Rug, Circa Date: 1935. This exceptional example of Chinese Art Deco weaving captures the transition from traditional motifs to the streamlined aesthetics of the 1930s. It is a stunning piece among antique rugs of the period, showcasing the era's preference for bold color and sparse design. The luxurious, dense wool pile is dominated by a rich, saturated field. While the overall impression is one of deep red, the specified hue aligns with the sophisticated spectrum of red rugs, providing a warm, enveloping backdrop for the sparse decoration. This depth of color saturation is characteristic of high-quality Chinese production from the Republican era. The design employs the asymmetrical balance favored by the Art Deco movement.
