Rectangle Chinese - Art Deco Purple Knotted Wool Room Size Antique 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent Art Deco piece exemplifies the fusion of traditional Chinese motifs with the bold, modern aesthetic of the early 20th century. Its generous dimensions make it an ideal room size rug suitable for grand interiors requiring scale and presence. The central field is dominated by a rich, striated purple or plum tone, characteristic of the period's preference for saturated, sophisticated hues. This velvety texture is dramatically framed by a wide, solid navy border, creating a powerful contrast that highlights the depth of the purple color rugs palette employed by Chinese weavers during this era. Unlike traditional dense patterning, this rug embraces the Art Deco principle of negative space, allowing the central field to breathe.
