Wool Antique Chinese Rectangle - Peking 1920s Knotted Blue Small Scatter Size Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century weaving captures the refined aesthetic of the Peking tradition. Its modest dimensions make it an ideal small scatter size rug for an entryway or beside a piece of fine furniture, offering a concentrated burst of historical artistry. The primary field is saturated in a rich, deep indigo, characteristic of the finest blue color rugs produced during this era of Chinese textile art. Against this dramatic backdrop, a detailed, narrative scene unfolds: a tranquil garden with a stone bridge, weeping willows, and water fowl gliding across the surface of a pond. The use of soft creams and muted taupes for the architecture and foliage provides striking contrast.
