Antique Chinese - Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Ivory 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece represents the height of the Peking weaving tradition during the Republican Era, characterized by its spacious, elegant design philosophy. Unlike earlier, densely patterned rugs, 1920s Chinese carpets often embraced a more minimalist aesthetic, allowing the quality of the wool and the sophistication of the color palette to take precedence. This particular example is a fine addition to our collection of antique rugs. The expansive field is rendered in a luminous, pale ivory, providing a perfect counterpoint to the vibrant, yet restrained, blue hues of the border. This use of a neutral ground highlights the delicate, scattered floral sprays (vignettes) that float across the surface.
