Early 20th Century Chinese Peking Carpet ( 2'4" x 8'9" - 71 x 267 ) Antique Chinese – Peking Hallway Runner Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving features the refined aesthetic typical of the Peking style. The design emphasizes a vast, unadorned central field, allowing the rich, saturated color palette to take precedence among antique rugs. The primary field is rendered in a soft, luminous hue that shifts between warm tan and delicate coral, providing a sophisticated backdrop. This subtle shading highlights the luxurious wool pile, which catches the light beautifully. The restrained use of color is a hallmark of the period, favoring elegance over complexity, especially in salmon coral pink color rugs. A dramatic contrast is established by the deep midnight blue border, which frames the central expanse. This border is intricately detailed with stylized floral sprays, vines, and circular medallions rendered in soft blues, creams, and muted pinks. These traditional Chinese motifs are elegantly spaced, preventing visual clutter while maintaining decorative interest. Woven during the height of the Art Deco influence on Chinese production, this piece offers both historical significance and practical utility. Its narrow, elongated dimensions make it an ideal choice for enhancing transitional spaces such as long corridors or entryways.
