Blue 1920s Rectangle Antique Floral Medallion Wool Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of Chinese Art Deco weaving captures the sophisticated aesthetic of the period. The expansive, deep indigo field provides a dramatic contrast to the sparse, stylized motifs, typical of high-quality antique rugs from the early 20th century. The commanding field is rendered in a rich, saturated navy, establishing a foundation of elegance that defines the best blue color rugs. At its heart lies a circular medallion featuring a pair of stylized golden birds, likely phoenixes or cranes, symbols of longevity and good fortune. This central element is meticulously rendered, offering a focal point without disrupting the rug's overall restraint. The wide, contrasting border utilizes a soft tan or khaki hue, framed by delicate black outlines and scrolling vines.
