Antique Wool Hand Knotted Pile Blue 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century weaving presents a striking aesthetic defined by its rich, saturated indigo field. The masterful use of this deep, regal blue color creates a dramatic backdrop for the delicate motifs, instantly commanding attention in any grand interior. The composition adheres to the refined Peking tradition, featuring a central circular medallion surrounded by gracefully dispersed floral sprays, including stylized peonies and cherry blossoms. These pale, ivory-toned elements float elegantly against the dark ground, emphasizing the rug's sophisticated balance between void and pattern. The wide border incorporates traditional Chinese symbols, such as the endless knot and stylized clouds, anchoring the design with classical structure.
