Antique Scenic Peking Carpet Wool Blue Navy Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece is a compelling example of early 20th-century antique rugs from the Peking region, characterized by its dense, lustrous wool pile and striking narrative design, which moves beyond typical medallion formats. The dramatic contrast between the saturated, deep blue color rugs field and the rich, golden-ochre figures creates an immediate visual tension. Unlike the central medallion formats often seen in this period, this rug utilizes a highly compartmentalized, repeating pictorial scene, functioning as a unique, segmented allover rugs pattern ideal for defining a living space. Woven in the 1920s, this piece predates the more streamlined Art Deco aesthetic, retaining a strong connection to traditional Chinese landscape painting and folklore.
