Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Wool Antique 1900s Blue Floral Medallion Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese Peking weaving represents a refined aesthetic, utilizing a plush wool pile and a highly structured design. The piece is a superb addition to any collection of antique rugs, showcasing the distinctive open field and stylized motifs characteristic of the era. The central field is dominated by a clear, vibrant cerulean, a highly sought-after hue in blue color rugs. Against this saturated backdrop, a symmetrical arrangement of stylized blossoms and mythical figures emerges in contrasting tones of ivory, saffron yellow, and soft peach. This careful use of negative space allows the central motifs to achieve maximum visual impact.
