Antique Chinese - Peking Small Wool Blue Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece exemplifies the refined aesthetic of peking rugs produced during the early Republican era. The deep, saturated indigo field is characteristic of the finest Chinese rugs from this period, offering a striking contrast to the pale camel border, which frames the composition with elegance and restraint. The design centers on a highly stylized medallion featuring twin mythical birds, likely phoenixes, rendered in soft beige and pale teal. This central motif is balanced by delicate floral sprays in the corners and along the primary border. The masterful use of the primary blue color rugs field allows the secondary colors—apricot, tan, and cream—to achieve maximum visual impact without overwhelming the composition.
