Description
1920s Chinese Art Deco Carpet ( 3'1" x 5'10" - 94 x 178 )
Yellow / Gold Orange Floral Wool Antique 1920s Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece captures the opulent yet simplified aesthetic of the early Art Deco period, rendered in a rich, high-quality wool pile. It stands as a vibrant example within our collection of antique rugs, showcasing the shift toward bold, saturated color palettes popular in the Roaring Twenties.
The central field is dominated by a shimmering, deep saffron hue, classifying it among the most striking gold yellow orange color rugs. This brilliant background provides a dramatic contrast to the border's soft lavender tone. The colors are expertly balanced, allowing the central field to glow without overpowering the delicate vine and blossom motifs.
A graceful, meandering vine pattern frames the field, featuring stylized chrysanthemums and peonies rendered in shades of teal, deep mauve, and burgundy. These highly stylized blossoms exemplify the Art Deco interpretation of traditional Chinese floral rugs, where naturalistic elements are pared down to their essential, elegant forms.
Measuring perfectly as a small scatter size rug (3.01ft x 5.1ft), this rug is ideally suited for an entryway, bedside placement, or as a vibrant accent piece in a study. The hand-knotted construction ensures durability, while the unique color combination guarantees it will serve as a sophisticated focal point, bridging historical elegance with modern design sensibilities.
