Tibetan Saddle Carpet with Wheel of Life Medallions, c. 1900
Located in Chicago, IL
This unusually-shaped carpet is known as a "makden" and was originally used by a nomadic traveler as an artful covering for his horse. Placed between the saddle and the horse, the makden cushioned the rigid saddle and kept the horse warm in cold climates. Most under-saddle carpets include two to four holes near the center, through which the girth straps of the saddle were threaded.
Dated to the late 19th century, this Tibetan saddle carpet...

Antique Geometric Design Chinese Rug with Polychrome Diamonds
Located in Milan, IT
There is a group of later Chinese carpets which are characterized by geometric, often abstract patterns that seem inspired by Western sensibilities. What is puzzling however is that most of these weavings have been sourced in recent years in China itself, where they have been used in households ever since they were made. Whatever its origin, the resulting pattern of coloured lozenges has an outstanding three dimensional quality, and can be compared to the most important objects of twentieth century design.

19th Century Square Size Chinese Peking Area Rug in Ivory, Navy, Sky Blue
Located in Barrington, IL
A rare and elegant 19th-century Chinese Peking rug in an uncommon square format, this piece features a serene ivory ground complemented by accents of navy and sky blue. Its refined design includes a subtle border lattice rendered in contrasting shades of blue, offering a sophisticated balance of geometry and minimalism.
The square proportions are particularly noteworthy—small Chinese Peking rugs of this shape and scale are exceedingly rare and sought after by collectors and interior designers. Originally handwoven for the elite in the Qing Dynasty period, these rugs combine aesthetic restraint with expert craftsmanship.
The soft ivory tones and clean symmetry make this piece especially suited for use as wall-mounted textile art, though it remains equally impactful as a floor accent in a curated space. A true collector’s gem, ideal for those who appreciate the quiet grandeur of classical Chinese design.
Dimensions: 4' x 3' 10"
Date of Manufacture: 4th Quarter of the 1800s
Place of Origin: China
