About the Item
Antique Chinese Peking Rug
Size: 13'6" × 21'0" (411 × 640 cm).
This elegant antique Chinese Peking rug from the 1920s is a sophisticated representation of early 20th-century textile artistry, embodying both imperial refinement and organic symbolism. Rendered in a warm golden-saffron field with striking inky-navy blue accents, the design exudes an understated grandeur that is both serene and majestic.
The central field features stylized floral medallions and leafy vine motifs, each intricately drawn with rhythmic, flowing lines that evoke natural harmony. The flowers resemble exotic lotus blooms or stylized peonies, suspended across an open, uncluttered backdrop. This generous use of negative space—a hallmark of Chinese design—allows the symbolic imagery to breathe and resonate.
A beautifully articulated border frames the composition. It comprises multiple guard bands, including a classic fret motif and a charming dot pattern, leading into a wide outer border filled with auspicious lotus blossoms, ruyi-cloud forms, and scrolling tendrils. These elements are rendered in the same deep blue and golden palette, offering a rich contrast while maintaining visual unity.
Woven in wool, this rug’s pile has gracefully aged, bearing gentle abrasions and a muted patina that only enhances its character and authenticity. The rug’s design and palette reflect traditional Chinese aesthetics—balance, symbolism, and reverence for nature—while its large size suggests it was created for an important domestic or ceremonial space.
Whether used as a focal point in a modern interior or as part of a curated historical collection, this antique Chinese carpet represents the timeless elegance of early 20th-century Chinese textile art.
This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
