Hand Knotted Pile Ivory Beige Cream White Antique Wool Rectangle 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece, characteristic of the 1920s Peking weaving tradition, is a masterful study in contrast and negative space. It represents the pinnacle of early 20th-century antique rugs from China, utilizing bold graphic elements against a serene ground. The luxurious, hand-knotted wool pile showcases a magnificent field rendered in soft, luminous tones. The primary palette consists of gentle ivory beige cream white hues, providing a sophisticated backdrop for the deep navy blue detailing. This careful selection of colors ensures the rug retains an airy quality despite the density of the border design. A beautifully rendered central medallion anchors the composition, featuring intricate, stylized floral and vine work executed in saturated indigo.
