About the Item

Antique circa 1920 Chinese Art Deco hand-knotted wool rug, 11' x 16'6" (132 x 198 in), in purple tones. Condition: good, overall Good Condition. Large Wool Antique 1920s Hand Knotted Pile Floral Rectangle Purple Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Art Deco piece showcases the dramatic color sensibility of the era. The vast central field is dominated by a sumptuous, deeply saturated purple, offering a powerful example of purple color rugs from this period. The design employs a sophisticated open field composition, typical of early 20th-century Chinese Art Deco production. Delicate trailing vines and stylized urns spill inward from the wide, contrasting brown border, creating a sense of movement and asymmetry. This masterful use of floral patterns avoids clutter, allowing the vibrant field color to remain the focal point. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the pile retains a luxurious sheen that enhances the depth of the dye work. The grand scale of this piece makes it an ideal foundation for major living spaces or formal dining areas, providing a rare opportunity to acquire a truly large oversized rug with such specific period provenance. Dating to the height of the Jazz Age, this rug represents the fusion of traditional Eastern weaving techniques with Western Art Deco modernism. Its striking palette and elegant execution make it a museum-quality example among fine antique rugs, offering both historical significance and unparalleled decorative impact.
