Wool 1920s Rectangle Floral Antique Hand Knotted Pile Ivory Beige Cream White Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece represents the height of early 20th-century weaving, characterized by a sophisticated blend of traditional Chinese motifs and modern design sensibilities. As with many antique rugs from this period, the construction is robust, featuring a thick wool pile hand-knotted for enduring quality. The dramatic color contrast defines the aesthetic power of this textile. A broad, luminous field of natural ivory beige cream white dominates the composition, providing a serene backdrop for the deep, saturated navy border. This expert use of negative space, coupled with the high-low texture typical of Chinese carpets of the era, creates a striking visual depth.
