Antique Chinese Peking Ivory 1930s Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of a peking rug exhibits the refined aesthetic that defined Chinese textile artistry during the early 20th century. The composition is characterized by its spacious, uncluttered field, a hallmark of the sophisticated taste prevalent in the period. The central field is rendered in a soft, luminous ivory color, providing a perfect counterpoint to the deep, saturated indigo blue used for the decorative elements. This contrast highlights the intricate depiction of traditional scholarly objects, often referred to as the "Hundred Antiques," which are artfully scattered across the expanse. Such elegant, restrained palettes are highly sought after among collectors of Chinese rugs.
