Antique Peking Room Size Wool Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving presents a striking contrast of color and texture. The expansive central field is rendered in a rich, saturated indigo, providing a dramatic backdrop for the delicate design elements. This specific shade of blue color is characteristic of the finest Peking production of the era. The design employs an elegant, minimalist approach, featuring scattered floral sprays and vines that float across the dark ground. The main border offers a dramatic counterpoint, utilizing a wide band of luminous gold-ochre wool, densely populated with stylized blossoms and trailing foliage. This piece represents a sophisticated evolution of oriental rug aesthetics during the Republican period.
