Antique Peking Small Scatter Size Wool Beige, Black Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This elegant Chinese weaving exemplifies the restrained sophistication typical of early 20th-century Peking production. Its highly versatile dimensions categorize it perfectly as a small scatter size rug.

The field presents a serene palette of warm beige and camel tones, utilizing cut pile techniques to create a subtle, almost embossed effect in the central medallion area. This level of craftsmanship is often sought after in high-quality antique rugs from the period.

A narrow, scrolling vine border in soft blue hues frames the field, contrasting sharply against the deep, saturated indigo border. This striking contrast, utilizing a color palette often classified among black color rugs, provides necessary grounding and definition to the entire piece.

Woven entirely in wool, this piece retains excellent pile height and structural integrity, a testament to the durability of 1920s Chinese weaving. Its unique, elongated oval shape makes it an ideal accent piece for hallways, bedside placement, or refined transitional interiors. See less
