Antique Peking Chinese Floral Beige, Blue Navy 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving captures the refined elegance typical of the Peking production centers. The design utilizes a striking contrast between the deep, saturated navy field and the luminous golden-beige border, a characteristic feature of high-quality antique rugs from this period. The expansive field is rendered in a mesmerizing shade of indigo, providing a dramatic backdrop for the delicate, scattered floral sprays. At the center, a beautifully stylized vase holds an arrangement of blossoming branches, executed in shades of gold and pale blue. This sophisticated use of negative space emphasizes the artistry inherent in blue color rugs of the Art Deco era. The border system is highly detailed, featuring multiple guard bands framing a wide main border.
