Antique Peking Chinese Medallion Ivory 1900s Rug

Antique Peking Chinese Medallion Ivory 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional Chinese Peking piece exemplifies the restrained elegance of early 20th-century design. The striking contrast between the deep indigo field and the luminous ground of ivory color rugs creates immediate visual impact, characteristic of the finest examples of this period. The field is dominated by a dense, interlocking geometric fretwork pattern—a complex meander that suggests infinite repetition and classical Chinese symbolism. This meticulous structural approach frames a subtle, almost abstract central medallion, rendered in soft cream tones that break the intensity of the navy ground. A series of meticulously layered borders defines the perimeter.
