Antique Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Navy 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century weaving captures the elegance inherent in antique rugs from the Peking tradition. The design is characterized by its spacious composition and the harmonious balance between the central medallion and the scattered floral sprays across the field, reflecting the refined aesthetic of the period. The commanding field is rendered in a saturated, deep navy, providing a dramatic backdrop for the delicate ornamentation. This rich hue is characteristic of the finest blue color rugs produced during this era, offering visual depth without heaviness. The composition features a beautifully articulated central medallion surrounded by individual bouquets, creating a sense of movement and asymmetry typical of Chinese Art Deco sensibilities.
