Antique Peking Chinese Medallion Blue 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the refined aesthetic of early 20th-century Chinese weaving, particularly the Peking tradition which favored open fields and subtle, symbolic motifs. The enduring quality of these antique rugs makes them highly sought after for both traditional and modern interiors. The field is dominated by a saturated, almost cerulean blue, providing a dramatic backdrop for the stylized medallions and scattered floral sprays. This striking shade of blue color rugs was highly popular in the 1930s, offering a sophisticated contrast to the neutral ivory border and the subtle use of tan and sepia within the motifs. The central design features a large, circular medallion filled with intricate vine and leaf work, mirrored by four smaller quarter medallions at the corners.
