The Antique Rectangle 1900s Blue Wool Hand Knotted Pile Rug is an exceptional Chinese textile from the early 20th century, likely woven in the Peking region. This room-sized rug features a high-quality hand-knotted wool pile with a 0.5-inch height, ensuring a substantial and enduring decorative statement. The deeply saturated indigo field serves as a dramatic backdrop for stylized motifs in pale ivory and teal, including a central medallion of blooming peonies and trailing vines. Scattered bouquets, vases, and butterflies float across the ground, while a sophisticated border system with a Greek key motif provides structural balance. This piece masterfully combines geometric structure with organic floral forms, reflecting the period's expert craftsmanship and traditional Chinese iconography.
