The elongated format and balanced composition lend themselves well to corridor settings.

On the Design:

The field features an open, airy lattice of stylized floral vinery arranged with notable restraint, a hallmark of Peking carpets. Delicate blossoms and scrolling stems are rendered with clarity, allowing each motif to breathe within the composition rather than forming a dense pattern.

A soft ivory-beige ground anchors the design, enriched by cool blue tones and subtle pink accents that lend depth without disrupting the overall calm. Vertical elements, reminiscent of hanging lantern forms or architectural columns, introduce a quiet geometric rhythm within the floral framework.

The border is defined by a classic Chinese meander and floral system in deeper navy tones, providing a crisp contrast that frames the lighter field. The composition balances decorative detail with negative space, resulting in a piece that feels both structured and serene.

Condition:

This Chinese Peking rug is in good condition for its age and origin. See less
