Antique Peking Chinese Medallion Beige, Blue 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Peking rug captures the elegance of the early 20th century, a period when traditional Eastern motifs were refined for Western tastes. The composition features a striking contrast between the deep indigo field and the warm, golden-beige border, showcasing the sophisticated palette characteristic of the finest antique rugs. The central circular medallion anchors the composition, radiating stylized floral patterns in shades of beige and light blue. The expansive, deep field is sparsely populated with delicate sprigs of blossoms, butterflies, and auspicious birds in flight, providing a sense of spaciousness and tranquility. This expert use of negative space allows the rich, saturated blue color rugs to dominate the visual experience.
