Chinese - Peking Blue Wool Antique 1900s Room Size Rectangle Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This magnificent example of early 20th-century weaving presents a classic Peking aesthetic. The striking contrast between the luminous tan scrolling vines and the deep, saturated blue field is characteristic of the finest blue color rugs from this period. The design employs a complex, dense arrangement of stylized chrysanthemums and lotus blossoms. This continuous, flowing pattern, which lacks a central medallion, creates a harmonious allover rugs effect, drawing the eye across the entire surface. The wool pile is exceptionally soft, reflecting the high quality of Chinese weaving traditions. As a substantial room size rugs piece, this antique provides a commanding presence suitable for grand interiors.
