Red Knotted Wool Chinese Rectangle Antique Room Size - Art Deco 1920s Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent example of early 20th-century weaving presents a striking visual contrast, utilizing a deep, saturated red field framed by a sophisticated neutral border. Its impressive scale qualifies it as a true room size piece, designed to anchor a major living space or formal dining area. The rug exemplifies the distinctive aesthetic of Chinese Art Deco production, which flourished in the 1920s and '30s by blending traditional Eastern motifs with the bold, simplified lines of Western modernism. The central field is kept largely open, allowing the rich, red jewel-toned wool to dominate, while the borders introduce a subtle, yet complex, secondary color scheme of complementary accents.
