Antique Peking Small Scatter Size Wool Black, Blue Navy Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving presents a highly stylized, yet organic, depiction of nature. The construction and palette align perfectly with the refined standards of antique rugs produced during the Republican era.

The field is dominated by a deep, saturated indigo—a color often perceived as black—which provides a striking contrast to the lighter hues of the central design. This masterful use of shadow and light highlights the subtle complexity inherent in black color rugs from this period, emphasizing depth without sacrificing clarity.

A large, lush peony blossom, rendered in soft apricot and pale gold tones, anchors the composition, surrounded by trailing foliage in muted greens and tans. Above the main flower, a small, stylized bird or butterfly drifts across the dark expanse, adding a delicate sense of movement and asymmetry typical of classic Chinese textile art.

Woven in a dense, high-quality wool pile, this piece is categorized as a small scatter size rug. Its dimensions make it an ideal accent piece for an entryway, bedside, or within a curated collection, offering a concentrated burst of color and historical elegance to any interior space. See less
