Blue Rectangle 1920s Antique Wool Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece captures the refined aesthetic of early 20th-century Chinese weaving, characterized by a deep, saturated indigo field. The hand-knotted wool pile provides a luxurious texture, typical of high-quality antique rugs from this period. The dominant hue is a rich, midnight blue, providing a dramatic backdrop for the delicate, scattered floral sprays. These light blue and beige blossoms appear weightless, floating across the field in the classic Peking manner. The sophisticated use of varying shades of blue demonstrates why this color remains a perennial favorite among collectors seeking blue color rugs. A complex border structure frames the central medallion-less field.
