1880s Beige Field Shou Symbols Medallion Antique Chinese Peking Square Rug

$39,000.00

A striking antique ivory and beige Peking, hand-knotted in wool in China around 1880. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases an open field medallion across an ivory and beige palette, and measures 12'10" x 13'2". Antique Chinese Peking carpets were hand-woven in northern China in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They are loved for their open, uncluttered fields, soft sculpted wool pile, and motifs drawn from Chinese symbolism - medallions, florals, birds and auspicious emblems. Its generous, oversized scale makes a statement in a great room, primary suite or open-plan space. The ivory palette is endlessly versatile, lightening and enlarging a room. Hand-knotted from durable wool, it is made to be lived with and handed down.
