About the Item
79217 Antique Blue Chinese Peking Rug, 08'11 x 12'00. A masterpiece of serene elegance and timeless heritage, this hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug unveils a vision of archival sophistication and luxury artistry. Its composition is anchored in a sumptuous midnight blue field, a hue long associated with imperial prestige and cosmic tranquility. At the heart of this magnificent one-of-a-kind treasure, a perfectly centered medallion—a floral mandala—blooms in jewel-toned shades of pink, purple, and copper, forming a captivating visual focal point that evokes both spiritual depth and decorative opulence. Like a celestial bloom suspended in time, this central motif pays homage to nature’s cycle and the eternity of beauty itself.
Framing this canvas of expression is a series of dual borders, each more enchanting than the last. The innermost band, painted in vibrant tones of rose and plum, creates a painterly contrast that heightens the boldness of the field. Beyond it lies a richly adorned outer border—a gallery of divine botanicals—featuring scrolling vines of chrysanthemums, peonies, and lotus blossoms. These motifs are not merely decorative; they are timeless emblems of prosperity and wisdom. The chrysanthemum, flower of autumn, offers symbolism of longevity and golden years, while the peony proclaims wealth, prestige, and unrivaled feminine beauty. The lotus, rising pristine from the murky depths, echoes the values of purity and spiritual elevation.
Interspersed among the blooms are auspicious objects woven with meticulous precision, including Chinese fretwork and stylized ruyi clouds—symbols of enduring power and divine blessing. Echoes of the leiwen, or thunder pattern, meander through the corners, symbolizing eternal motion and the cyclical nature of life. This exquisite interplay of geometry and florals speaks to the creative power and cultural literacy of the artisan, elevating the rug beyond its functional role into the realm of immersive storytelling and textile poetry. The use of vibrant corals, orchid purples, and jade greens against the deep blue ground creates an irresistible chromatic harmony, capturing both the richness of the universe and the refined stillness of a meditative landscape.
A work of unparalleled artisanship, this cherished treasure exemplifies the fusion of Eastern philosophy with the bold, sophisticated design language of early 20th-century textile mastery. It is an exceptional, one-of-a-kind piece not only steeped in tradition but reimagined through a modernist lens, making it a true breakthrough in aesthetic versatility. Whether laid in a grand salon or a curated collector’s space, this timeless silhouette retains its captivating power, whispering the soft poetry of bygone dynasties through the silken threads of its high-end construction. Its tailor-made balance of form and symbol reflects a quintessential synthesis of history, innovation, and allure.
To own such an exquisite work of art is to possess a signature piece from an era of luxurious quietude and cultural reverence. This Peking carpet is not simply décor—it is a coveted heirloom, a bespoke tribute to the ancient dreamscape of Chinese mythology and a contemporary affirmation of refined taste. As it unfurls beneath your feet, it tells a story of elegance and endurance, of artisanship cherished and legacy preserved. An embodiment of poise, prestige, and poetic imagination, this extraordinary textile is a testament to what happens when heritage and inventiveness meet.
