Hallway Runner Rugs (0.1ft x 13.06ft), Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional piece is representative of the finest peking rugs produced during the transition into the early Republic period, showcasing the sophisticated court aesthetic that defined the style. The central field is dominated by a rich, saturated indigo, placing it among the most sought-after blue color rugs. Against this luxurious backdrop, delicate floral sprays and auspicious symbols are scattered, rendered in soft tones of ivory, pale blue, and tan, allowing the deep color of the wool to truly resonate. Characteristic of early 20th-century Chinese rugs, the design employs a spacious composition framed by a complex border system. The main guard border features traditional meander patterns interspersed with stylized blossoms, providing a sophisticated contrast to the deep pile of the field.
