Antique Peking Chinese Floral Blue 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving captures the essence of the Art Deco period, blending traditional motifs with a modern, open field design. Its saturated indigo ground is characteristic of the finest blue color rugs from this era. The deep, velvety pile provides a dramatic canvas for the scattered floral sprays and the striking central medallion. This focal point depicts a stylized pavilion nestled among pine trees, often symbolizing longevity and resilience in Chinese iconography. The overall composition emphasizes negative space, a hallmark of the sophisticated design shift occurring in antique rugs during the 1920s. The structure is framed by a multi-layered border system, utilizing contrasting black and beige bands to define the edges.
