Chinese Peking / 20314

This Chinese Peking antique rug, 7' 2" x 10' 3", presents a quiet, graphic balance of deep blue and softened neutral ground. Scattered emblematic motifs drift across the field, while a Greek key border and layered inner guards hold the composition with crisp, architectural rhythm. The wool surface shows medium wear and a gently faded hand, lending the drawing a hushed, atmospheric character. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the restrained elegance that defines the best Peking rugs, with cool blue notes, pale cream contrast, and a well-aged finish that feels both formal and softly worn.
