Hand Knotted Pile 1920s Antique Rectangle Wool Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This magnificent piece from the early 20th century exemplifies the restrained elegance characteristic of the period. Its expansive field is rendered in a saturated, almost midnight blue, providing a dramatic, velvety backdrop for the intricate designs. This deep hue is characteristic of many luxury blue color rugs produced during this era. The design utilizes five prominent circular medallions, strategically placed at the center and corners. Each features highly stylized, opposing cranes or phoenixes rendered in soft gold and cream tones. These symbolic motifs, often representing longevity and good fortune in traditional Chinese iconography, are framed by the lush, meandering border.
