About the Item

19th Century Chinese Peking Carpet ( 14' x 19'2" - 427 x 584 ) This magnificent example of late Qing Dynasty weaving represents the pinnacle of Chinese court textiles. Its provenance places it among the finest antique rugs produced during this period of artistic transition, characterized by a refined balance between imperial symbolism and open, expansive design fields. The field is dominated by a rich, deeply saturated indigo, a signature characteristic of high-quality Peking production from the 1880s. This intense shade of blue provides a dramatic backdrop for the delicate, floating motifs, allowing the contrasting ivory and pale aqua elements to truly resonate. The masterful use of this hue makes it a spectacular example of blue color rugs from the late 19th century. At the center rests a beautifully rendered medallion depicting a pair of stylized phoenixes, symbols of grace, good fortune, and imperial power. The open field is sparsely populated with traditional Chinese elements—peonies, butterflies, and cloud bands—creating a sophisticated, airy composition consistent with classic floral rugs iconography, where each motif carries deep cultural significance. The complex border system frames the design with layers of geometric fretwork, including the classic Greek key motif, and stylized lotus blooms, providing structural integrity to the expansive composition. Given its impressive dimensions and powerful visual presence, this piece functions as a commanding large oversized rug, perfectly suited for grand, formal interiors requiring historical depth and powerful color saturation.
