Hand Knotted Pile Blue Ivory Beige Cream White Rectangle 1920s Wool Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent piece exemplifies the restrained elegance characteristic of early 20th-century Chinese weaving. The expansive, deep indigo field provides a dramatic, monochromatic canvas for the delicate scattering of floral sprays, capturing the essence of the Peking style. The palette is defined by a striking contrast between the saturated, rich midnight blue color ground and the luminous, finely rendered motifs executed in shades of cream, beige, and soft gold. These stylized floral elements, including peonies and trailing vines, are symmetrically placed, drawing the eye toward the graceful central medallion wreath. Woven with luxurious, hand-spun wool, the pile retains a wonderful sheen and softness, indicative of the high standards of production during this era.
