Rectangle Wool Ivory Beige Cream White 1920s Antique Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving embodies the restrained elegance characteristic of the Peking style. The expansive field is dominated by a sophisticated palette of ivory beige cream white, providing a luminous backdrop for the subtly rendered stylized foliage. Woven during the 1920s, this piece reflects the transitional period where traditional Chinese motifs began to harmonize with Western Art Deco sensibilities. The central medallion is soft and understated, allowing the natural luster of the wool to define the sweeping, curvilinear patterns that flow across the surface in monochromatic tones of tan and soft brown.
