Blue 1920s Chinese - Peking Wool Rectangle Hallway Runner Antique Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece exemplifies the refined aesthetic of early 20th-century Chinese weaving, a period characterized by subtle shifts toward Western design sensibilities while maintaining traditional craftsmanship. As a genuine example of antique rugs, its wool pile retains a remarkable luster and depth of color, speaking to its superior quality. The field is dominated by a profound, saturated indigo, creating a dramatic backdrop that highlights the sparse, elegant central motif of a blossoming vase. This deep, rich shade is characteristic of sophisticated blue color rugs from the Peking region during the Republican era. The minimalist design allows the viewer's eye to appreciate the quality of the dye and the texture of the hand-knotted wool.
