Description
1920s Chinese Art Deco Carpet ( 6' x 8'10" - 185 x 270 )
1920s Rectangle Purple / Lavender Mauve Hand Knotted Pile Floral Antique Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco piece captures the dramatic aesthetic of the Jazz Age. Its bold central field is a testament to the era's love for saturated color, placing it among the most sought-after purple, lavender, or mauve color rugs.
Typical of the finest Art Deco production, the design eschews traditional symmetry for a more naturalistic, trailing composition. Delicate branches laden with blossoms and foliage spill inward from the subtle gray border onto the rich violet ground, showcasing the sophisticated use of negative space characteristic of floral rugs from this period.
Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the pile retains a luxurious texture and sheen, reflecting the light beautifully across the deep field. The Room Size Rugs (6ft x 8.1ft) format makes this a superb example of hallway runner rugs, perfectly suited to adding a splash of vibrant color and historical elegance to a long corridor or gallery space.
The striking juxtaposition of the vibrant magenta field against the subdued taupe border creates a powerful visual contrast, a hallmark of early 20th-century design innovation. This piece represents not only fine craftsmanship but also a significant stylistic moment in the history of antique rugs.
