Antique Peking Chinese Allover Floral Navy 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the transitional design period of early 20th-century Chinese weaving, moving toward the modern aesthetic while retaining traditional craftsmanship. Its deep, saturated field provides a dramatic backdrop, utilizing the rich tones characteristic of blue color rugs. The massive, nearly monochromatic navy field suggests a substantial presence, making it an ideal room size centerpiece. It is elegantly framed by a highly complex, stepped border. This intricate frame employs a palette of ochre, soft teal, and terracotta red, creating a striking visual contrast against the dark ground. The border design departs from classical Chinese motifs, instead featuring stylized geometric elements and abstracted cartouches that hint at Western Art Deco influence.
