A striking antique blue Peking, hand-knotted in wool in China around 1920. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases a floral composition across a blue palette, and measures 2’9″ x 9’8″.
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 long, narrow proportions are ideal for a hallway, stair landing or galley kitchen. Its cool blues sit beautifully against warm woods, brass accents and neutral walls. Hand-knotted from durable wool, it is made to be lived with and handed down.
