Antique Ivory Beige Cream White 1920s Wool Hand Knotted Pile Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving captures the refined elegance characteristic of the period. Its expansive, luminous field is masterfully rendered in soft, shifting tones of ivory and beige, providing a perfect canvas for the restrained decorative elements. The design employs a minimalist approach, featuring delicate, scattered sprays of flowering branches and small songbirds rendered primarily in rich indigo and subtle pale blue hues. This open composition, typical of high-quality Peking production from the 1920s, allows the eye to appreciate the quality of the wool and the depth of the hand-knotted pile, which exhibits a beautiful, subtle sheen. Providing a striking contrast to the neutral ground, the wide, dramatic border is saturated in deep navy blue.
