Antique Peking Chinese Floral Beige, Blue Navy 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving presents the restrained elegance characteristic of the Peking style. The design utilizes a deep, saturated field to highlight the delicate, scattered floral sprays, marking it as a distinguished piece among antique rugs. The central field is rendered in a rich, almost midnight blue, providing a dramatic backdrop for the stylized blossoms woven in subtle shades of beige and pale azure. The masterful use of indigo and navy hues places this piece within the finest tradition of blue color rugs, offering a depth that modern dyes rarely achieve. A broad, contrasting border in natural beige frames the composition, featuring intricate Chinese symbols, vases, and stylized floral elements executed in complementary blues and golds.
