Blue Small Scatter Size 1930s Chinese Knotted Antique Wool - Peking Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional Chinese Peking rug from the early 20th century stands out among typical antique rugs due to its highly narrative and pictorial design. The deep, saturated indigo field provides a dramatic, celestial backdrop for the complex mythological scene woven into the lustrous wool pile. The primary motif depicts a vibrant procession of figures, almost certainly the revered Eight Immortals (Baxian), each rendered with distinct attributes and colorful robes. These figures float above stylized, swirling clouds, a common visual metaphor in Daoist iconography. The masterful use of the rich blue color rugs creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, emphasizing the otherworldly and mythological nature of the scene.
