Description
1920s Chinese Art Deco Carpet ( 9' x 11' 6" - 275 x 350 cm )
Wool Antique Rectangle Floral 1920s Purple / Lavender Mauve Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent example of Chinese Art Deco weaving captures the sophisticated aesthetic of the Jazz Age. The rug features a deeply saturated field, utilizing a rich hue that falls precisely within the spectrum of purple / lavender mauve color rugs.
The design eschews traditional dense patterning in favor of naturalistic, open sprays of blossoms and branches that trail gracefully across the corners and edges. This approach highlights the individual beauty of the floral rugs motif, allowing each element-from the delicate birds to the stylized chrysanthemums-to stand out against the expansive main field.
Woven with a luxurious, dense pile, this piece was designed to serve as a central anchor in a grand interior. Its substantial dimensions classify it among the most desirable room size rugs, offering unparalleled coverage and defining the scale of a formal living space or master suite with its commanding presence.
Dating to the height of the Art Deco period, this hand-knotted textile is a testament to the technical skill and artistic innovation of early 20th-century Chinese workshops. It remains a superb acquisition for collectors seeking exceptional antique rugs that blend Eastern tradition with Western modernity.
