Antique Floral Medallion Wool Hand Knotted Pile Blue 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exquisite example of antique rugs features a plush, hand-knotted wool pile, characteristic of early 20th-century Asian production. The design is immediately striking, balancing traditional Chinese symbolism with a soft, expansive field. The central field is dominated by a sophisticated, muted shade of blue color rugs, providing a serene backdrop for the scattered medallions and sprigs. This particular hue, often associated with the Peking style, is elegantly contrasted by accents of pale ivory and a striking coral-pink, which defines the main border and secondary motifs. The composition employs both central and corner medallions, interspersed with delicate, stylized floral rugs and traditional Chinese symbols of longevity and good fortune.
