Hand Knotted Pile Rectangle Wool Blue 1920s Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece of textile artistry captures the sophisticated aesthetic of early 20th-century Chinese weaving. The deep, saturated indigo field is characteristic of the finest blue color rugs from this period, providing a rich backdrop for the highly detailed border design. The expansive central field features subtle, tone-on-tone scrolling vine and cloud motifs, rendered in varying shades of sapphire and navy wool. This restrained treatment allows the eye to appreciate the quality of the hand-knotted pile and the luxurious depth of the color. Such classic designs are highly sought after among collectors of antique rugs. A magnificent border frames the composition, bursting with stylized peonies and chrysanthemums rendered in soft rose, peach, and pale blue.
