Antique Peking Chinese Allover Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving captures the restrained elegance characteristic of the Peking style. The design, though titled geometric, features an open field dominated by traditional floral and vase motifs, reflecting the transitional period often seen in oriental rugs of this era. The palette is defined by a striking contrast between the luminous, saturated indigo border and the expansive, subtly shifting camel-gold field. Scattered across the field are delicate sprigs of blossoms rendered in varying shades of blue, cream, and subtle hues of salmon coral pink, drawing the eye toward the central vase arrangement. Woven with a dense, high-quality wool pile, this piece exhibits the superb craftsmanship for which Republican Era Peking workshops were renowned.
