Antique Chinese Geometric Medallion Wool Hand Knotted Pile Ivory Beige Cream White 1930s Rug

Antique Chinese Geometric Medallion Wool Hand Knotted Pile Ivory Beige Cream White 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of Chinese weaving from the early 20th century presents a sophisticated blend of traditional motifs and Art Deco sensibilities, characteristic of the period's export market. The central field is dominated by a luxurious, thick wool pile rendered in a delicate ivory beige cream white palette, providing a luminous backdrop for the stylized iconography. The rug's highly unusual, lobed outline distinguishes it from standard rectangular formats, suggesting it was intended as a specialized accent piece. While titled as a geometric medallion design, the primary field features highly stylized fish or leaves flanking a central axis, surrounded by repeating circular and cross-like elements.
