The Antique Chinese - Baotou Blue 1925 Rug is an exceptional example of Baotou weaving from the early Republican era. Hand-knotted in China using high-quality wool, this rectangular rug features a deep, saturated indigo field that provides a dramatic backdrop for its central decorative tableau. The design showcases a stylized vase overflowing with peonies, symbolizing wealth and honour, alongside scholarly objects like books and brushes. With a 0.5-inch pile height and a narrow, elongated format, this small scatter-size rug is ideal for hallways, bedside placements, or as a striking wall hanging. Its restrained palette of midnight indigo, powder blue, and cream highlights ensures it remains a timeless work of textile art that bridges traditional Chinese iconography with modern decorative needs.
