1920s Blue Ivory Beige Cream White Rectangle Antique Hand Knotted Pile Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese Peking rug captures the restrained elegance characteristic of early 20th-century design. The composition features a striking contrast between the expansive, saturated indigo field and the wide, luminous ivory border. Such pieces are highly sought after among collectors of antique rugs. The field is rendered in a magnificent, deep blue color, providing a rich canvas for the delicate scattering of traditional Chinese auspicious symbols. These motifs, including stylized vases, butterflies, and floral sprays, are executed primarily in soft gold, beige, and light blue tones, lending depth and visual interest without overcrowding the composition. The masterful use of negative space allows the quality of the wool and dye work to be fully appreciated.
