Antique Peking Chinese Allover Floral Knotted Blue , Coral Hallway Runner Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Chinese runner exemplifies the sophisticated design principles of early 20th-century Peking weaving. The composition features a lush, naturalistic field of scrolling vines and blossoms set against a deep indigo ground, offering a refined interpretation of classic oriental rugs. The narrow format is perfectly suited for long passages, making it an ideal choice among hallway runner rugs. A striking central panel, rendered in soft beige and accented with deep violet motifs, runs the length of the piece, creating a strong vertical axis that enhances the perceived length of the space it inhabits. The craftsmanship is evident in the finely detailed rendering of the floral elements, which utilize creamy gold and subtle coral tones.
