Antique Chinese - Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Blue 1900s Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving showcases the restrained elegance characteristic of the Peking style. The field is dominated by a rich, deeply saturated indigo, making it a striking piece among blue color rugs. The use of a monochrome ground allows the intricate border and central medallion to emerge with subtle definition. The design adheres to classical Chinese principles, featuring an open, expansive field anchored by a finely detailed central medallion and complementary corner spandrels. These elements are rendered in lighter shades of blue and soft camel tones, highlighting stylized floral and geometric motifs. The border employs traditional Shou symbols, representing longevity and good fortune, framed by delicate scrolling vines.
