Wool Hand Knotted Pile Blue Rectangle 1920s Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite hand-knotted piece exemplifies the restrained elegance of early 20th-century Chinese weaving. The field is dominated by a rich, saturated indigo, making it a superb example among blue color rugs of the era.
The design features a classic open composition, centered around a delicate, stylized circular medallion. Scattered floral sprays—rendered in soft gold and cream tones—float gracefully across the deep ground, creating visual depth without clutter. Such sophisticated, large-scale designs are highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs.
The border system is complex, utilizing multiple bands of scrolling vines and stylized blossoms set against a contrasting light beige guard stripe. The overall scale of the piece is generous, positioning it perfectly as one of the finest room size rugs available from this period.
Woven with a luxurious wool pile, this rug maintains excellent structural integrity and color vibrancy, reflecting nearly a century of careful preservation. Its balanced palette and traditional motifs offer a timeless foundation suitable for both classical and contemporary interiors.
