Antique Large Chinese Art Deco Floral Hand Knotted Pile Rug
This Antique Large Chinese Art Deco Floral Hand Knotted Pile Rug is an exceptional piece from the 1920s. Hand-knotted in China using high-quality wool, this runner features a vibrant gold and yellow field that serves as a luminous backdrop for its sparse, narrative design. The composition includes stylized figures and delicate floral sprays rendered in rich indigo, plum, and burgundy tones. Measuring approximately 2.08ft by 17.04ft, this oversized runner utilizes an open, asymmetrical layout characteristic of the Art Deco movement. With a 0.5-inch pile height, this textile represents a significant cultural intersection between Eastern craftsmanship and Western design sensibilities. It is a striking, collectible example of fine period textile work, perfect for grand hallways or reception areas.
