1920s Ivory Beige Cream White Hand Knotted Pile Rectangle Floral Medallion Wool Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite Chinese Peking rug represents the height of early 20th-century weaving, characterized by its luxurious wool pile and masterful use of negative space.

The expansive central field is rendered in a sophisticated, soft tone, blending ivory beige cream white hues.

The restrained palette emphasizes elegance over saturation, allowing the subtle shifts in color to define the composition.
