Large Size Ivory Color Antique Floral Bird of Paradise Chinese Dragon Medallion Peking Rug

1920s Rectangle Ivory Beige Cream White Antique Wool Floral Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Large Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century weaving represents the pinnacle of Chinese design, blending traditional iconography with the softer palette favored during the Republic period. Such antique rugs are highly sought after for their unique aesthetic bridge between Eastern and Western sensibilities. The expansive field is rendered in a sublime palette of ivory beige cream, providing a luminous backdrop for the stylized iconography. The central medallion, executed in deep indigo and slate blue, anchors the composition without dominating the overall lightness of the piece, creating a sense of sophisticated balance. Rather than a dense, repeating pattern, the design employs delicate, scattered floral motifs and symbolic birds interspersed across the open ground.
