A vintage Chinese Art Deco throw rug handmade during the mid-20th century. Measures: 2' 8" x 3' 9" The Craft of the hand-knotted carpet in China, and the surrounding areas including Mongolia and Tibet, extends into the early centuries of the first millennium, C.E., but we really have a firm grasp only beginning in the later 16th century with large, very coarsely woven carpets, often depicting dragons, created for the Imperial Forbidden City palaces. Chinese carpets have always been commercial and there are no tribal groups responsible for any of the carpet weaving strains. When the Ming Dynasty fell in 1644, with no Imperial patrons, production moved to the city of Ningxia in north central China where several workshops turned out more finely woven pieces for the Mandarins of the administrative Ch’ing bureaucracy and well-to-do merchants. Ningxia was the major Chinese carpet center up through most of the 19th century, with first allover and then medallion designs on cotton foundations in medium weaves. Palettes were initially limited to yellows, dark blue and cream, but later widened to include reds, browns and even green. These antiques were the first Chinese carpets to be exported to the West and they fitted in well with the craze for Chinese blue-and-white porcelain in the second half of the 19th century. Ningxia also wove shaped and rectangular small rugs for saddle underlays, chair (“throne”) seats and shaped backs, pillar carpets with dragons or monks for Buddhist monasteries, and long divided runners for monastery meditation halls. These small rugs are among the most collectible of all Chinese weavings. Weavers from Ningxia set up workshops in the capital Peking (Beijing) in the 1860’s and began weaving Western room sizes for export, primarily to America. In blue – and – white and polychrome palettes, with round wreath medallions, precious objects, seasonal flowers, paeonies, lotuses, fretwork, clouds, butterflies and bats, all relatively spaciously drawn. The round “Shou” (Good Luck) character is also a prominent decorative motif. There are also a few Peking landscape pictorials with pagodas, houses, bridges, waterscapes and boats. Peking carpets were woven right up until WWII and production began again after the Cultural Revolution around 1970. They are moderately well-woven, on cotton foundations, exactingly executed and indisputably Chinese. Many are in the blue-and-white style. Nothing else looks like a Peking carpet and for a Chinese “look” in a room, they are absolutely indispensable. Sizes range from scatters and a few runners, through the popular 9’12’ size, to large carpets over 20’ which must have been special orders. The earliest Peking Revival carpets are pliable and fairly thin, but they became heavier and more compact in the 20th century, in competition with Art Deco carpets from Tientsin. The modern, post- 1970, pieces are in the traditional Peking style, but are a little too regular and neat. Exactitude has been favored over character, as hard to explain that as it is. There are a number of all-silk and silk-and –metal thread pieces, many with inscriptions purporting to link them with rooms in the Imperial palaces, bringing very substantial auction prices, but none are really antique. The genre emerged after WWI and the present demand comes from mainland Chinese. The silk piles often Stand in pattern relief against flat woven gold metal thread grounds. The inscriptions are apocryphal, the rugs are flashily opulent, perfect for nouveaux riches. The Art Deco period between the two World Wars saw a distinctive carpet industry developing in Tientsin (Tianjin) in northeastern China. These are highly prized for their transitional design character, neither overtly Chinese, nor abstractly modern/contemporary. Woven exclusively for export, usually by and for American firms, such as Nichols and Elbrook, they are totally in the “Jazz Age Modern” style of the 1920’s, often without borders, with abstract or abstracted patterns, and only with, at best, a few Chinese-y pattern elements. Vases asymmetrically placed in the corners are features of some of the more Chinese-y carpets. Open fields with floral sprays and branches growing in from the edges are anther design innovation. Often, Chinese motives have been re-imagined in more sharp-edged, abstract manners. Some have no references whatsoever to natural elements. The patterns are sharp and the rugs are never subdued, soft or restrained. The rugs are heavily constructed, with crisp, unfading dyes and medium to medium coarse weaves on cotton foundations. All are extremely well-executed, with none of the vagaries, variations or twists found on even high-quality Persian rugs. The majority are in the 9’ by 12’ format and a surprising number can be found in top condition. There also was a substantial production in Peking from, especially from the Fette factory. Elliptical and round carpets, and lighter, often pastel colors, were a specialty. Nothing looks like an Art Deco Chinese and they work well with traditional Chinese furniture and the most modern decor as well. These is no substitute for a good Chinese Art Deco carpet. Chinese carpets also include small scatters from Tibet, with high quality wool, floating dragons and allover textile patterns. The colors of vintage and modern pieces are bright, but there are antique small rugs...

77439 Rare Antique Chinese Peking Rug, 11'10 x 18'09. Woven at the intersection of imperial artistry and contemplative serenity, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug stands as a paragon of Eastern refinement. Originating in the early 20th century, it embodies a rarefied synthesis of philosophical symbolism and luxurious craftsmanship. At its tranquil center lies a softly rounded medallion, where stylized florals, leafy arabesques, and a signature butterfly—emblem of transformation and ephemeral beauty—converge in poetic harmony. This exclusive medallion, suspended within a whispering field of open space, evokes the aesthetics of Chinese landscape painting, where the power of negative space invites stillness, introspection, and elevated taste. Surrounding this exquisite work of art is a lyrical constellation of traditional and iconic Chinese symbols, each rendered with masterful restraint. Floating birds and clustered ducks suggest fidelity and conjugal bliss, while flowering sprays and ruyi-shaped clouds drift across the woolen canvas, their auspicious forms bestowing heavenly favor. The inclusion of bamboo, a revered emblem of strength and integrity, pairs gracefully with the presence of vases—archetypes of peace, wisdom, and the cultivated life. Together, these enigmatic motifs unfold like an allegorical scroll, revealing a world where nature and the spirit exist in perfect balance. It is not merely a rug, but a visual philosophy woven for the enlightened collector. The exceptional border, a sublime composition in its own right, amplifies the rug’s story of continuous flow and cultivated abundance. Angular blossoms bloom rhythmically within a sea of stylized waves—symbols of the eternal Dao and the generative forces of life. Amid this tide of floral movement, delicate cartouches hold miniature vessels and planters, offering a quiet ode to the scholar’s garden, where order and beauty serve the mind as much as the senses. Each element is hand-knotted with patience and precision, the celestial palette of ivory, soft blues, faded rose, and subtle caramel browns forming a chromatic symphony that whispers rather than shouts—an expression of luxury meant for the discerning few. To acquire this antique Chinese Peking rug is to possess a woven meditation on harmony, resilience, and the sublime. As rare as it is refined, it speaks to an elite sensibility—one attuned not merely to wealth, but to meaning, history, and cultural stewardship. In a world increasingly enamored with the ephemeral, this precious masterpiece offers permanence rooted in symbolism and craftsmanship. It is a legacy piece, a curated fragment of Chinese aesthetic philosophy that transforms any room into a sanctuary of elegance and elevated thought. This is not just décor; it is a cultural heirloom, imbued with the power to enchant, enlighten, and endure. Rendered in variegated shades of royal blue, true blue, indigo...
