Blue Small Scatter Size Rectangle Knotted Chinese - Peking 1920s Wool Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Peking piece is defined by its saturated, almost midnight blue color rugs field, a hallmark of early 20th-century Chinese production that prioritized rich, solid backgrounds to showcase figurative artistry. The central design presents a rare and highly detailed tableau of mythological figures, likely the Eight Immortals, rendered in sophisticated ochre, rust, and sage tones. This figurative scene offers a compelling departure from the stylized geometric and floral rugs that dominated much of the early Republican era output. Woven from high-quality Chinese wool, the pile remains dense and luxurious, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship of the Peking workshops.
