Antique Peking Small Oval Scatter Size Wool Beige, Black Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This elegant Chinese weaving exemplifies the restrained sophistication typical of early 20th-century Peking production. Its highly versatile dimensions categorize it perfectly as a small scatter size rug. The field of this oval rug presents a serene palette of warm beige and camel tones, utilizing cut pile techniques to create a subtle, almost embossed effect in the central medallion area. This level of craftsmanship is often sought after in high-quality antique rugs from the period. A narrow, scrolling vine border in soft blue hues frames the field, contrasting sharply against the deep, saturated indigo border. This striking contrast, utilizing a color palette often classified among black color rugs, provides necessary grounding and definition to the entire piece.
