Antique Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving presents a striking contrast between its expansive navy field and the vibrant, golden-yellow border. The precise knotting and luxurious wool quality are characteristic of fine antique rugs from this period. The deeply saturated indigo field provides a perfect backdrop for the stylized floral clusters, which are symmetrically arranged along the central axis. This dramatic use of a rich, monochromatic ground highlights the subtle variations in the secondary hues, making it a superb specimen for collectors seeking blue color rugs with historical depth. The border features an elegant, meandering vine pattern populated with delicate blossoms and foliage, rendered in shades of cream, pale blue, and tan.
