Antique Peking Chinese Medallion Ivory 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional Chinese weaving exemplifies the refined elegance of the Art Deco era, characterized by a spacious field and carefully delineated floral motifs. The design relies on traditional Chinese symbolism rendered with a sophisticated, minimalist approach typical of the Peking workshops of the period, making it a highly desirable piece among antique rugs. The expansive, luminous field is rendered in a soft, pale ivory color, allowing the secondary colors to achieve maximum impact. Against this neutral backdrop, delicate sprays of flowers in coral pink, deep indigo, and russet brown seem to float weightlessly. This masterful use of negative space emphasizes the artistry of the central medallion, which anchors the composition with its dense, radiating pattern, a hallmark of fine ivory color weavings.
