Wool Rectangle Room Size Coral Antique Chinese 1920s Knotted - Art Deco Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece is a hallmark of the Chinese Art Deco period. Its generous dimensions classify it among highly desirable room size rugs, perfectly suited for grand interiors. The wool pile retains a beautiful sheen, characteristic of the fine knotting techniques employed in the 1920s.

The primary field color presents a sophisticated, muted rose, placing it squarely within the category of coral color rugs. This soft hue provides a stunning contrast to the wide, saturated jade-green border. The palette is further enriched by accents of lavender, soft blue, and gold, typical of the transitional aesthetic blending traditional Chinese symbolism with Western Art Deco flair.

While the composition features large, dramatic corner sprays of blossoming branches and vases, the central field maintains a subtle, ghosted pattern of stylized flowers. This underlying structure, combined with the scattered motifs, prevents a strong central focus, leaning toward an allover design sensibility favored by decorators of the era.

Dating from the 1920s, this piece represents the pinnacle of Chinese weaving tailored for the export market, showcasing a bold, modern interpretation of classic motifs like the peony and the butterfly. It stands as a superb example among fine antique rugs, offering both historical value and exceptional decorative presence for a contemporary setting.
