Blue Antique 1880s Allover Geometric Hand Knotted Pile Wool Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional piece represents the height of late 19th-century Chinese weaving, characterized by its deep, saturated indigo field and restrained use of color. Such magnificent antique rugs from the Peking region are highly sought after for their refined aesthetic and enduring quality wool pile. The field is dominated by a rich, almost midnight blue color achieved through natural dyes, providing a dramatic contrast to the pale cream motifs. The background features a subtle, tone-on-tone geometric fretwork—a classic Chinese meander pattern—that adds textural depth beneath the primary scattered elements.
