Chinese - Peking Blue Wool Antique 1930s Small Scatter Size Knotted Rectangle Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving features a dramatic, saturated field of deep indigo, characteristic of the finest blue color rugs from the Peking region. The rich wool foundation provides a luxurious texture and enduring visual depth.

The field presents a tranquil, stylized landscape, rendered in the sophisticated Art Deco aesthetic prevalent during the 1930s. Dynamic depictions of soaring birds and craggy, abstracted rock formations frame the central vista, interspersed with delicate elements reminiscent of floral rugs and stylized foliage rendered in soft creams and muted blues.

Measuring a highly versatile dimension, this piece falls into the category of small scatter size rugs, making it ideal for placement in a dressing room, entryway, or beside a bed. The dense knotting and high-quality wool pile ensure that this textile retains its integrity, offering both visual appeal and practical durability.

A striking terracotta-red border, featuring cartouches with stylized vessels and small blossoms, provides a warm counterpoint to the cool blue field. This carefully preserved textile represents a superb example of Chinese weaving tradition and is a valuable addition to any collection of fine antique rugs. See less
