Antique Peking Chinese Floral Black, Ivory Beige Cream White 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This piece is a quintessential example of 1920s Chinese weaving, showcasing the sophisticated palette and open field designs favored during the Republican Era. The juxtaposition of the luminous ivory field against the deep, saturated border creates a striking contrast, instantly elevating the space it inhabits. This particular example is among the finest antique rugs of its period. The central composition features an elegant, sprawling tree-of-life motif, meticulously rendered with delicate branches, blossoms, and stylized birds. This naturalistic yet refined design is anchored by traditional Chinese urns and vases, symbolizing prosperity and longevity.
