Room Size Knotted Wool 1920s Blue Antique Chinese - Art Deco Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece, featuring room size dimensions, captures the dramatic aesthetic shift of the 1920s, merging traditional Chinese iconography with the bold, simplified lines of the Art Deco movement. The field is dominated by a rich, saturated navy, providing a striking contrast to the stylized border. This deep hue, characteristic of premium blue color rugs, highlights the opulent gold-ochre frame. The composition is a masterful example of the aesthetic principles defining Chinese Art Deco rugs, prioritizing negative space and exaggerated scale. The border itself is a study in restrained luxury, featuring a solid band of luminous gold that frames the central design.
