Antique Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Navy 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of a Peking weaving exemplifies the elegance and restraint characteristic of early 20th-century Chinese textile art. Its composition, defined by a spacious field and subtle ornamentation, elevates it beyond typical antique rugs of the period. The field is saturated in a rich, almost midnight navy, providing a dramatic backdrop for the delicate motifs. This striking use of a deep indigo places it among the most desirable blue color rugs available today. At the center rests a stylized, circular medallion depicting a flowering tree or shrub, rendered in muted tones of beige and pale sky blue, offering a serene focal point. Scattered across the expansive navy ground are individual floral sprigs, symmetrically placed yet appearing organic and light.
