Antique Peking Chinese Medallion Navy 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional Chinese Art Deco piece exemplifies the sophisticated weaving tradition of the era. The design is characterized by an expansive, open field, a hallmark of the finest antique rugs produced in Beijing during this period. The luxurious, deep indigo field provides a dramatic backdrop for the scattered circular medallions and stylized floral sprays. This saturated tone is a superb example of the classic blue color rugs favored in early 20th-century interiors, offering both grounding depth and visual tranquility. Anchoring the composition is a complex central medallion rendered in rich gold, brown, and purple hues, depicting traditional Chinese iconography—possibly a stylized Qilin or deer—amidst clouds and flowers.
