Room Size Blue Chinese Knotted 1890s Antique Wool Rectangle - Peking Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late Qing Dynasty weaving exemplifies the refined aesthetic of Chinese court textiles adapted for Western export. Its substantial dimensions classify it as a true room size rug, ideal for anchoring a sophisticated interior space with historic gravitas. The primary palette is dominated by a rich, deep indigo, offering the classic tranquility found in blue color rugs. The field is rendered in a subtle, tone-on-tone design of scrolling vines and stylized foliage, creating a mesmerizing depth that shifts under changing light and enhances the rug's antique patina. While the central area is framed by a delicate, flowering vine cartouche in soft salmon and ivory, the underlying structure relies on a densely packed, repeating motif.
