Blue Antique Hand Knotted Pile Rectangle Wool 1900s Floral Medallion Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century weaving presents a sophisticated aesthetic defined by its strong coloration and graphic clarity. Crafted from fine, durable rectangle wool, this piece embodies the transitional design period when traditional motifs began to meet Western sensibilities. The central composition features a magnificent, open deep blue field, allowing the subtle variations in the natural dyes to create depth and texture. This rich, saturated hue provides a dramatic backdrop for the stylized Peking motifs, highlighting the craftsmanship inherent in this hand-knotted textile. A bold, symmetrical central floral medallion anchors the design, surrounded by delicate corner spandrels and traditional Chinese fretwork.
