Hand Knotted Pile 1920s Blue Wool Rectangle Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece exemplifies the refined aesthetic of early 20th-century Chinese weaving. Its deep indigo field provides a striking backdrop for the stylized floral elements, characteristic of the period when Chinese artisans began adapting traditional motifs for Western markets. It is a superb example of antique rugs. The saturated wool pile showcases a magnificent, almost midnight blue color rugs, which dominates the central panel. This expansive, uncluttered field is a hallmark of the Peking style, allowing the scattered floral clusters—rendered in soft cream and pale azure—to float gracefully, emphasizing negative space over dense pattern repetition. A wide, luminous beige border frames the composition, providing a necessary contrast to the deep field.
