About the Item
Antique Chinese Peking Rug
Size: 8'7" x 8'5" (261 x 256 cm)
This captivating antique Chinese rug from the late 19th century embodies the subtle elegance and artistic mastery of traditional Peking weaving. Woven circa 1880, the piece showcases a highly decorative allover floral pattern composed of densely clustered peony blossoms, lotuses, and stylized foliage in a softly faded yet richly complex palette of mauve, lavender, pale rose, olive green, and beige, all set against a muted tan field.
The flowers are outlined in delicate brown or black contouring, lending definition and depth while maintaining the dreamy, watercolor-like effect that defines this rug’s aged charm. The detailed botanical motifs speak to the traditional Chinese symbolic language, where peonies represent wealth and honor, and lotuses signify purity and spiritual enlightenment.
Encasing this floral tapestry is a bold fretwork border rendered in a striking shade of indigo blue, forming a clean visual contrast that anchors the softer inner composition. Beyond the main border lies an outer band filled with soft blue tones and scattered flowers that enhance the overall sense of harmony and natural abundance.
Though well over a century old, the rug retains its beauty and character. Signs of age-related wear are visible and expected, including areas of wear and gentle color variation that only enhance its authenticity and patina.
This piece is a superb example of the refined aesthetic associated with Chinese weaving during the Qing Dynasty, effortlessly blending artistic expression, cultural symbolism, and superior craftsmanship. Its generous square format and neutral tones make it an exceptional candidate for both traditional and eclectic interiors.
This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs.
