Antique Peking Chinese Allover Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece is a superb example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving, representing the transition toward more modern, open designs seen in antique rugs. Originating from the workshops near Beijing, this style balances traditional motifs with a distinctly modern, spacious aesthetic. The central field is saturated with a stunning, deep indigo, providing a dramatic backdrop for the delicate, scattered motifs. This intense saturation is characteristic of high-quality Peking production from the period, instantly elevating this piece among premier blue color rugs. The secondary palette utilizes soft tones of apricot, pale gold, and sage green, maintaining a sophisticated contrast against the powerful primary field.
