About the Item
Early 20th Century Chinese Peking Carpet with Eight Immortals Playing Weiqi "Go" ( 4'9" x 7'3" - 145 x 221 )
This exquisite piece represents the finest tradition of antique rugs, offering a highly decorative and functional small scatter size suitable for intimate spaces or as an accent layer. The plush pile is rendered in high-quality ivory wool, providing a luminous, neutral ground that anchors the complex figural design.
The field is dominated by a charming narrative scene, characteristic of early 20th-century Chinese production. A group of figures, likely scholars or dignitaries, are depicted seated around a low table, engaged in conversation or a game. The controlled palette of soft blues, warm browns, and deep navy outlines creates depth and highlights the expressive, stylized faces of the participants.
Framing the central tableau is a broad border featuring stylized cloud bands and floral elements, executed primarily in contrasting navy blue and faded bronze tones. This specific aesthetic, characterized by open fields and pictorial elements, is a hallmark of peking style weaving, which flourished during this period. The overall composition balances the density of the border with the spaciousness of the field.
Originating from Chinese rugs workshops active in the early 1900s, this rug showcases the sophisticated artistry developed specifically for export markets and domestic elite consumption. Its enduring quality and unique pictorial content make it a remarkable collector's item, providing a tangible link to the decorative arts of turn-of-the-century East Asia.
