Antique Chinese - Peking Chinese Ivory 1920s Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This piece exemplifies the refined aesthetic of early 20th-century Peking production. The expansive, serene field utilizes a soft ivory color palette, providing a perfect counterpoint to the dramatic border motifs. Unlike the purely geometric designs popular in the West during this era, this rug features classically rendered Chinese iconography. The border is densely populated with stylized dragons intertwined with rolling waves and cloud bands, motifs traditionally reserved for Imperial textiles. This attention to detail elevates the piece among other antique rugs of the period. The quality of the wool and the thick pile suggest a luxurious commission, typical of the finest workshops operating in the capital region.
