Knotted Chinese - Peking Small Scatter Size Wool 1920s Blue Antique Square Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century weaving represents the refined aesthetic of Chinese rugs, characterized by open fields and sophisticated, often symbolic, design elements. The rug features a stunning monochromatic blue color palette, utilizing varying shades of indigo and cerulean to define the central medallion and corner spandrels.
