Chinese – Peking Room Size Antique Blue 1920s Wool Rectangle Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Peking weaving exemplifies the refined aesthetic of early 20th-century Chinese production. Its generous dimensions classify it among desirable room size rugs, perfect for anchoring a formal living space or grand dining hall.
The rug’s most striking feature is its deep, saturated indigo field, a hallmark of high-quality wool dyes from the period. This rich hue provides a dramatic backdrop for the secondary colors—soft beige, pale blue, and cream—positioning it as a prime example within our collection of blue color rugs.
A delicate, open composition defines the design, featuring scattered sprigs and a central roundel depicting a stylized pagoda and blossoming tree. The corners introduce architectural elements, beautifully complementing the continuous vine border. This sophisticated use of naturalistic elements places it firmly within the tradition of floral rugs.
Knotted entirely in wool, the pile retains a luxurious softness consistent with rugs crafted during the 1920s. The excellent preservation and clarity of the design confirm its status as a highly collectible piece, joining our curated selection of important antique rugs.
