Rectangle 1920s Hand Knotted Pile Floral Medallion Wool Antique Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese export piece is a powerful example of early 20th-century weaving, blending traditional imperial iconography with the plush, thick pile favored by the Western market. It stands among the finest antique rugs produced during this transitional period, showcasing superior craftsmanship and artistic ambition. The commanding field is rendered in a saturated, deep indigo blue, providing a dramatic, almost nocturnal backdrop for the mythological figures. This rich hue is highly sought after, offering a depth and elegance that few other shades can match, making it a masterful example among blue color rugs. The color choice emphasizes the regal nature of the central design.
