Wool 1920s Ivory Knotted Rectangle Antique Chinese - Peking Small Scatter Size Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of a Peking rug captures the refined aesthetic prevalent during the early 20th century, characterized by its open field design and restrained color palette. It represents a sophisticated piece within the history of antique rugs. The foundation features a luminous, slightly shifting field of ivory color, providing a perfect canvas for the dramatic, stylized motifs. This neutral ground ensures the rug maintains a sophisticated air while allowing the deep indigo elements, which form the primary design, to articulate the narrative clearly. The design is distinctly pictorial, featuring stylized trees, soaring phoenixes, and scattered butterflies rendered in a bold, contrasting blue.
