Wool Hallway Runner Knotted Antique 1920s Ivory Chinese – Peking Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite Peking runner exemplifies the sophisticated aesthetic of early 20th-century Chinese weaving, a period highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs.
The long, narrow format makes it an ideal hallway runner rug, perfectly suited for illuminating transitional spaces. The plush wool pile is centered around a delicate field of soft, warm ivory, providing a neutral yet luminous backdrop for the striking indigo motifs.
Characteristic of the Peking style, the design features open space punctuated by stylized blue-on-ivory motifs. These elegant, scattered blossoms and central roundels define it as a prime example of floral rugs, utilizing traditional Chinese symbolism within a refined composition.
The contrast between the deep navy border and the luminous field is particularly arresting, showcasing the masterful use of negative space. For those seeking pieces that combine historical depth with light sophistication, this piece is an exceptional addition to our collection of ivory color rugs.
