Wool 1920s Blue Rectangle Room Size Knotted Chinese Antique - Peking Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of Chinese weaving from the early 20th century exemplifies the sophisticated aesthetics of the Peking style. Hand-knotted from luxurious wool, the piece presents a deep, saturated field, characteristic of the finest blue color rugs produced during this period. The primary field is dominated by a rich indigo hue, providing a dramatic backdrop for the scattered, delicate motifs. The design features a large central medallion flanked by four smaller circular reserves, all rendered in soft tones of beige, pale gold, and sky blue. These reserves contain tightly clustered floral rugs patterns, offering a beautiful contrast against the deep ground. A complex, multi-layered border frames the composition, echoing the curvilinear vines and blossoms found within the main field.
