Antique Peking Chinese Allover Floral Blue 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent example of early 20th-century weaving represents the pinnacle of Chinese textile artistry. Its sophisticated palette and detailed execution make it a highly desirable piece among antique rugs collectors. The field is dominated by a saturated, almost midnight indigo, providing a dramatic backdrop for the scattered floral sprays. The use of this deep, luxurious hue, common among blue color rugs, is characteristic of the finest Peking workshops of the era, contrasting beautifully with the ivory and pale robin's egg accents. An elegant, open composition features individual blossoms, butterflies, and scrolling vines dispersed across the field, culminating in a dense, stylized central rosette.
