Antique Peking Chinese Allover Floral Ivory 1920s Rug

Antique Peking Chinese Allover Floral Ivory 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese rug from the Republican era exemplifies the refined elegance characteristic of Peking weaving during the early 20th century. The expansive field is rendered in a subtle, warm ivory color, allowing the intricate pattern to emerge with soft luminosity. The primary design employs a dense, allover pattern of delicate scrolling vines and foliage, often referred to as an islimi motif in broader textile terminology, creating a mesmerizing texture beneath the surface. Periodically, larger, stylized floral sprays in soft coral and pink tones punctuate the field, providing focal points without disrupting the overall tranquility of the composition. A striking contrast is achieved by the elaborate border, which utilizes strong cobalt blue and rich salmon hues against the pale ground.
