Rectangle Chinese Wool Room Size - Art Deco 1920s Antique Coral Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving embodies the transition toward modern aesthetics, placing it firmly among desirable antique rugs. The Art Deco influence is evident in the bold color blocking and the simplified, yet elegant, composition. The central field is dominated by a saturated, deep magenta or fuchsia hue, providing a dramatic backdrop for the corner motifs. This intense shade, often referred to as coral in the period, creates a luxurious, velvety texture in the wool pile. The juxtaposition of this vibrant core with the mint green border is a hallmark of the period's experimental use of color, appealing to collectors seeking coral color rugs.
