Antique Peking Chinese Medallion Blue 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of Chinese weaving from the early 20th century captures the majesty of the imperial tradition. The field is dominated by a deep, saturated indigo, providing a dramatic backdrop for the stylized five-clawed dragons rendered in contrasting gold. Such pieces are highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs. The rich, almost marine tone of the field is characteristic of the finest Peking production of the period. This specific shade of blue color rugs offers a sophisticated depth that shifts subtly depending on the light, highlighting the plush, thick pile. The design is kept deliberately sparse in the center, allowing the monumental central dragon medallion to command attention, framed by four corresponding dragons situated in the corners.
