A striking antique black Peking, hand-knotted in wool in China around 1920. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases a dragon across a black palette, and measures 6’0″ x 8’6″.
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.
At a true room size it will anchor a living or dining room, framing a seating group or sitting comfortably under a dining table. Hand-knotted from durable wool, it is made to be lived with and handed down.
