Antique Oversized Chinese - Peking Chinese Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This magnificent example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving presents a sophisticated, dark field design characteristic of the Peking style, representing the finest tradition of antique rugs. The use of repeating circular medallions set against a deep indigo ground creates a powerful, architectural rhythm. The dramatic contrast is achieved through a rich, nearly black field that allows the cream and tan geometric motifs to vividly emerge. Subtle accents of pale powder blue color rugs are integrated into the central elements of the medallions, providing a cool counterpoint to the overall warmth of the neutral tones. Typical of high-quality Peking production, the rug features an exceptionally dense knot and a luxurious, plush pile.
