Antique Chinese - Peking Hallway Runner Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving features the refined aesthetic typical of the Peking style. The design emphasizes a vast, unadorned central field, allowing the rich, saturated color palette to take precedence among antique rugs. The primary field is rendered in a soft, luminous hue that shifts between warm tan and delicate coral, providing a sophisticated backdrop. This subtle shading highlights the luxurious wool pile, which catches the light beautifully. The restrained use of color is a hallmark of the period, favoring elegance over complexity, especially in salmon coral pink color rugs. A dramatic contrast is established by the deep midnight blue border, which frames the central expanse.
