Antique Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Beige, Blue 1920s Rug

Antique Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Beige, Blue 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving captures the restrained elegance characteristic of high-quality antique rugs from the Republican era. The design features a vast, luminous beige field, providing a perfect counterpoint to the dramatic indigo border. The field is anchored by a stylized central medallion, likely the Shou character symbolizing longevity, rendered in a deep, saturated tone. The interplay between the pale gold ground and the navy border highlights the sophisticated use of limited color palettes common in Peking weaving, contrasting sharply with the later Art Deco excesses.
