White and Blue Antique Long and Narrow Oversized Chinese Peking Rug

Knotted Chinese - Peking Antique 1920s Wool Room Size Ivory Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving represents the refined aesthetic sought in antique rugs of the period. Its construction utilizes high-quality wool, characteristic of the fine Peking workshop output, resulting in a plush pile that retains a beautiful, soft luster. The composition is defined by a serene, luminous field of soft ivory color rugs, providing a striking contrast to the deep indigo blue used in the primary border and the scattered central motifs. This restrained palette, typical of the sophisticated tastes of the Republican era, emphasizes the purity of the design and allows the subtle patina of the wool to shine. The field features a series of large, stylized circular medallions, sparsely distributed across the vast expanse.
