Antique Chinese Peking Rug, Circa 1920s, Earthy Brown Field with Navy Blue Border
An authentic Early 20th-Century Antique Peking Chinese Art Deco Rug (circa 1920s), hand-knotted from premium wool, featuring a spacious open-field design that has beautifully aged over the past century into a soft, variegated shade of earthy cocoa brown with tobacco taupe undertones. This sophisticated neutral background is framed by a classic deep navy blue border adorned with asymmetric floral branches, blooming peonies, and traditional butterfly motifs symbolizing longevity and joy. The piece is in a heavily distressed antique condition with a low, weathered pile throughout the central field that reveals the underlying foundation with honest wear patterns, giving it a highly sought-after, relaxed patina that effortlessly anchors both traditional antique settings and mid-century modern or bohemian interiors. Size: 11 feet 8 inches x 9 feet.
