Chinese Small Scatter Size Blue Knotted Rectangle Wool - Peking Antique 1880s Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of late 19th-century Peking weaving is rendered in fine wool, showcasing the technical mastery achieved during the Qing Dynasty's twilight. Its practical small scatter size makes it a versatile accent piece, ideal for adding historical depth to intimate spaces. The striking visual appeal of this piece is rooted in its sophisticated use of color. A deep, saturated indigo forms the primary field, providing a dramatic backdrop for the lighter, almost powder-blue secondary tones. This masterful deployment of the blue color rugs palette is characteristic of the finest Chinese court textiles of the period, emphasizing serenity and depth.
