Antique Chinese Peking Rug 9' 0" x 11' 6"
A distinguished antique Chinese Peking rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1890. This exceptional piece features a deep indigo blue ground adorned with a central medallion of entwined phoenixes, symbols of harmony and rebirth in Chinese culture. The field is decorated with scattered floral sprays and auspicious motifs, while the border combines scrolling lotus blossoms with a Greek key meander, adding both rhythm and balance to the design.
Peking rugs of this era are admired for their refined simplicity, cultural symbolism, and masterful craftsmanship, qualities that have made them highly sought after by collectors worldwide. The luxurious wool pile and striking blue-and-ivory palette reflect the timeless elegance of late Qing dynasty decorative arts.
A superb 19th-century Peking carpet, offering both decorative beauty and cultural depth — an outstanding piece for collectors and connoisseurs.
