Antique Allover Wool Hand Knotted Pile Blue 1920s Rug

Small Scatter Size Rugs (3ft x 5.1ft), Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece is a striking example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving, utilizing a dense wool pile to render a complex pictorial scene. The field is dominated by a rich, saturated indigo, providing a dramatic backdrop for the lighter elements and emphasizing the striking contrast inherent in the blue color palette. Unlike typical medallion formats, this rug features a fully integrated pictorial landscape, creating an immersive allover design that draws the eye vertically through the composition. The depiction is characteristic of Baotou or Ningxia workshops, showcasing stylized mountains rendered in soft blues and whites, interspersed with delicate, rust-colored trees and traditional Chinese cloud bands floating above the peaks.
