Antique Peking Chinese Medallion Blue Navy, Ivory 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This magnificent example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving presents a striking visual contrast, utilizing a luminous ivory field to showcase the powerful, deep navy blue motifs. The central focus is a commanding, coiled dragon medallion, traditional symbol of imperial power and good fortune, rendered with exceptional clarity. The expansive field is sparsely populated with delicate, scattered auspicious symbols, including secondary miniature dragons, vases, and stylized flora, characteristic of the restrained aesthetic favored in the capital during this period. Such pieces are highly sought after among collectors of antique rugs for their unique blend of Ming Dynasty design principles and early Republican era craftsmanship.
