Antique Peking Chinese Geometric Beige 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving presents a refined aesthetic typical of the Peking tradition. Its spacious, open field and minimalist detailing exemplify the shift toward modern sensibilities seen in many antique rugs of the period.

The composition is defined by its masterful use of negative space, anchored by a lustrous field of soft, warm beige. This neutral ground allows the sparse, yet impactful, motifs to command attention. Collectors seeking subtle elegance often gravitate toward pieces featuring this sophisticated ivory beige color.

Stylized chrysanthemum medallions, rendered in deep indigo and contrasting taupe, are strategically scattered across the central expanse. The corners feature elegant, angular fretwork—a nod to traditional Chinese geometric patterns—which beautifully frames the larger, densely woven floral clusters, lending structure to the otherwise ethereal design.

Woven with a thick, plush pile characteristic of the era, this piece offers both visual appeal and substantial durability. Its generous dimensions make it an ideal room size rug for a sophisticated living space or formal dining area, providing a foundation of quiet luxury. See less
