Chinese Peking / 18864

This Chinese Peking antique rug measures 2' 2" x 4' 2" and presents a restrained field of ivory wool animated by indigo borders, faded blue floral forms, and touches of green and coral. The composition is airy yet formal, with a central medallion, corner motifs, and stepped geometric details that give the design its quiet structure. Soft wear and gentle fading have mellowed the contrast, lending the surface a calm, timeworn character. Circa 1930 - 1955, it reflects the understated elegance associated with the Chinese Peking tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
