Antique Chinese - Peking Blue 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of Chinese Art Deco weaving captures the sophisticated aesthetic popular in the early 20th century. Its construction and palette mark it as a fine piece among antique rugs of the period, demonstrating the transition from classical court designs to modern, open compositions. The rug is defined by its dramatic color contrast. The expansive, plush deep blue field provides a rich, almost velvet-like backdrop, allowing the lighter motifs to float effortlessly across the surface. This midnight hue is expertly framed by a broad, luminous border of warm bronze and chestnut tones. The composition is characterized by balance and restraint, typical of Peking production. Scattered vine work, delicate blossoms, and auspicious birds surround a central, detailed medallion that anchors the design.
