Rectangle Antique 1920s Chinese - Peking Wool Blue Knotted Room Size Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving hails from the Peking region, renowned for its luxurious wool pile and distinctive aesthetic. Pieces from this era represent the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship among antique rugs. The sophisticated palette relies almost entirely on the striking contrast between saturated indigo and a luminous ivory ground. The use of multiple shades of blue color highlights the depth and complexity of the cloud and wave motifs that dominate the field, creating a sense of movement and ethereal beauty. The field features a meticulously rendered, repeating pattern of stylized Ruyi clouds and circular symbols, characteristic of classical Chinese iconography.
