Antique Square Wool Brown Earth Tone Ivory Beige Cream White Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite square example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving features a highly desirable neutral palette. The vast, open field of soft ivory and beige provides a serene backdrop, perfectly framed by the rich, muted taupe of the main border, classifying it among the finest brown earth tone pieces of the era. The design is characterized by the classic Peking aesthetic: a sparse composition emphasizing negative space. A central circular medallion, executed in striking indigo blue, depicts a stylized phoenix amidst delicate foliage and ribbons. The corners mirror this complexity, featuring elaborate arrangements of vases, auspicious symbols, and stylized flora, all rendered in the same high-contrast blue and subtle camel accents.
