Room Size Knotted 1930s Rectangle Chinese Wool Blue – Peking Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving presents a luxurious deep indigo field, characteristic of the refined Peking style. Its substantial dimensions classify it as a true room size piece, ideal for anchoring a major living space or dining area with historical elegance.
The primary field is rendered in a saturated, velvety blue color, providing a dramatic contrast to the pale saffron and soft teal accents found in the borders.

The outer border utilizes stylized scrolling vines and stylized blossoms, creating a compelling example of early 20th-century floral rugs that balance traditional Chinese iconography with streamlined Deco aesthetics.
Knotted in thick, high-quality wool, this piece retains the exceptional handle and luster expected of fine Chinese textiles from this era. It is a striking and well-preserved example, representing a superb acquisition for collectors seeking authentic antique rugs with proven provenance and enduring decorative appeal.
