1930s Antique Wool Knotted Rectangle Chinese Room Size – Art Deco Carpet. This magnificent example of antique rugs captures the transitional aesthetic of the early 20th century, where traditional Eastern motifs were streamlined to suit Western modernist tastes, resulting in a design that is both dramatic and highly refined. Size 8’0″ x 10’2″ Format: rectangular
The dominant deep red field provides a dramatic backdrop for the delicate, naturalistic depiction of flowering branches. This elegant, sparse composition avoids traditional central medallions, instead utilizing an allover rugs pattern where the motifs are scattered organically across the entire surface. This open-field approach is characteristic of high-quality Chinese rugs from this specific period.
Woven in China during the 1930s, this piece perfectly embodies the fusion style known as Chinese Art Deco rugs. The sophisticated palette features soft accent tones in the blossoms, which contrast sharply with the saturated red ground, highlighting the plush, expertly knotted wool pile and the masterful use of negative space.
The substantial dimensions classify this piece as a true room size rug, making it an ideal anchor for a sophisticated living space or formal dining room. Its enduring quality and bold red aesthetic ensure it remains a highly sought-after collectible textile that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Condition: Good.
