Antique Chinese - Peking Chinese Blue 1890s Blue Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite example of late 19th-century weaving represents the height of the Peking tradition, renowned for its refined aesthetics and masterful use of negative space. Pieces of this age and condition are highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs. The field presents a mesmerizing, luminous pale blue, often described as celadon or robin's egg, which provides a striking contrast to the deep indigo and cream accents found in the complex borders. This delicate use of tonality is characteristic of the finest Chinese production and places it among the most desirable blue color rugs available today. The design features an elegantly open composition, centered around a beautifully articulated circular medallion filled with stylized blossoms and vines.
