Wool Chinese - Art Deco Yellow 1920s Knotted Room Size Rectangle Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the height of Chinese Art Deco weaving, a style that masterfully blended traditional Far Eastern iconography with the bold, modern aesthetics of the early 20th century. Such antique rugs represent a distinct moment in design history, characterized by deep saturation and simplified forms. The composition is defined by a dramatic contrast between the saturated teal border and the expansive, luminous yellow field. This central medallion, rendered in a striking yellow hue, provides a powerful, uncluttered foundation, allowing the surrounding decorative elements—including a magnificent, stylized phoenix and delicate butterflies—to truly resonate.
