Antique Geometric Medallion Wool Hand Knotted Pile Blue 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece, hand-knotted in the 1920s, represents the sophisticated aesthetic of early Republican Era textile production. Its dense wool pile and masterful execution ensure it remains a compelling example among our collection of antique rugs.
The striking visual impact is achieved through a rich, saturated indigo field, characteristic of the finest Peking weavings of the period. This deep hue provides a dramatic backdrop for the lighter cream, tan, and sky blue motifs, making it a stellar example among our blue color rugs.
The design centers on a robust, stylized medallion, flanked by abstracted forms that resemble traditional Chinese auspicious symbols. The strong, linear execution of the field motifs, combined with the detailed meander border, places this piece firmly within the tradition of geometric rugs that prioritize structure and symmetry over naturalism.
Perfectly scaled for intimate spaces or as an accent piece, this rug functions beautifully as one of our small scatter size rugs. Its durable construction and enduring palette make it an ideal choice for adding historical depth and refined color to a hallway, bedside, or study.
