Antique Peking Chinese Ivory 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This striking Chinese Peking rug presents a superb example of early 20th-century design, utilizing a high-contrast palette of deep indigo and soft, aged ivory color. The use of a luminous ivory field provides a sophisticated backdrop, characteristic of the finest pieces produced in Northern China during this transitional period. The central field is dominated by a complex, interlocking key pattern, creating a dense, architectural texture. This intricate network of lines forms a powerful geometric design that speaks to the highly formal and sophisticated weaving traditions of the region. A plain, circular medallion interrupts the density of the pattern, providing a visual anchor and necessary balance to the composition.
