Ivory Knotted 1900s Rectangle Chinese Wool Antique - Peking Small Scatter Size Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional Chinese Peking rug showcases the dramatic aesthetic contrast typical of early 20th-century weaving, featuring a deep, saturated indigo field against a striking central panel of soft, aged ivory color rugs. The use of negative space and bold color blocking elevates this piece beyond typical decorative carpets. The design centers on a rectangular ivory cartouche containing elegant, stylized calligraphy, framed by sweeping, curvilinear branches and mythical birds rendered in the same pale tone. This sophisticated composition reflects the revival of classical Chinese art forms adapted for the Western market, making it a highly desirable example of antique rugs.
