Antique Rectangle Chinese 1900s - Peking Small Scatter Size Wool Ivory Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century weaving originates from the renowned Peking workshops, celebrated for their sophisticated courtly designs. The piece showcases the distinctive aesthetic of antique rugs from this region, combining luxurious wool pile with a highly intricate pictorial narrative. The composition is defined by its striking contrast between the deep indigo blue motifs and the luminous ivory field. This neutral ground allows the detailed depiction of stags and stylized fowl to emerge vividly, creating a dynamic, naturalistic scene framed by traditional Chinese symbolism, including stylized trees and auspicious cloud forms. Despite its detailed imagery, the rug maintains a balanced visual flow.
