Antique Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Blue, Ivory Beige Cream White 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving represents the pinnacle of the Peking tradition. Its generous proportions and refined palette make it a standout among antique rugs, offering both historical depth and timeless decorative appeal. The expansive, luminous field is rendered in a soft, golden ivory, providing a perfect counterpoint to the dramatic indigo border. The central medallion, a circular burst of stylized flowers and birds, utilizes rich tones of cerulean and navy, anchoring the composition. The careful deployment of blue color rugs in this era often served to highlight the neutral ground, a technique mastered by Peking weavers adapting to Western demand.
