Chinese - Peking Antique Rectangle Wool 1920s Knotted Hallway Runner Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional hand-knotted piece represents the sophisticated output of the Peking weaving centers during the Republican Era. Crafted entirely from high-quality wool, it is a durable and refined example of antique rugs that defined the Art Deco period in Asia. The deep, saturated indigo of the main field provides a dramatic backdrop for the delicate ornamentation. This rich shade of blue color rugs was highly prized in the 1920s, offering a luxurious foundation that contrasts sharply with the ivory and pale rose accents used in the central circular medallion and the corner spandrels. Characteristic of the Peking style, the design employs an array of stylized floral rugs, including chrysanthemums and peonies, rendered in soft creams and muted browns.
