Antique Chinese Wool Blue Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This unusual piece represents the distinctive aesthetic of early 20th-century Chinese weaving. Its deep indigo field is densely populated with traditional symbols and floral elements, characteristic of the refined style produced during this period. Woven entirely in high-quality wool, the composition relies on a striking contrast between the rich, saturated navy background and the vibrant brick-red border. This masterful use of pigment highlights the enduring appeal of blue color rugs in traditional interiors, providing depth and visual weight to the intricate patterning. The structure of the design features large, circular floral medallions interspersed with stylized figures and geometric bands, creating a complex, near-allover design.
