Wool 1920s Knotted Square Chinese Antique - Art Deco Room Size Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of Art Deco weaving represents the pinnacle of early 20th-century design, merging traditional Eastern craftsmanship with modern Western aesthetics. As a highly sought-after piece among antique rugs, its provenance is clearly rooted in the skilled workshops of Chinese rugs from this transitional period. The field is dominated by a rich, deep teal ground, providing a dramatic backdrop for the sprawling, naturalistic vine and blossom motifs. The juxtaposition of the serene center field against the vibrant, saturated red border is characteristic of the bold color choices that defined the era. This specific aesthetic, characterized by open fields and simplified forms, is the hallmark of Chinese Art Deco rugs.
