This hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug features a round open center medallion with blooming lotuses across an abrashed sand colored field. Bats, peonies, chrysanthemums and leafy tendrils surround the medallion. Bats are seen to augur good fortune, happiness, and prosperity; they are primarily seen on rugs that were created for the domestic Chinese market. Peonies represent beauty, wealth and honor, while chrysanthemums represent long life. Large peonies in the corner spandrels are given a butterfly-like appearance. The wide border features blossoms, delicate scrolling, and lingzhi mushrooms, which are thought to grant immortality. With its classic color combination of blues and creams, as well as a symmetrical and well-harmonized composition, this antique Chinese Peking rug would grant an air of calm formality to nearly any space.
