Room Size Rugs (6ft x 8.09ft), Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional piece represents the height of the Chinese Art Deco period, specifically the sophisticated output from the Peking workshops. Its construction as a runner makes it a rare and highly desirable example among antique rugs.

The expansive field is rendered in a luminous, soft ivory hue, providing a striking contrast to the deep indigo and cobalt blue used in the primary borders. The minimalist field features stylized floral sprays and a delicate central medallion, characteristic of the restrained elegance favored during this decade of Chinese weaving.

Designed specifically for transitional spaces, this hallway runner format allows this historic textile to define and elongate modern corridors or entryways. The thick, luxurious wool pile, hand-knotted with precision, speaks to the superior craftsmanship maintained by the finest Chinese weavers of the era.

The complex border system is a masterclass in balance, featuring both organic vine motifs and strong, architectural lines. An inner band utilizes the traditional Greek key pattern, demonstrating a refined application of geometric rugs elements within the overall decorative scheme. See less
