A 19th-century Chinese Peking carpet from around 1870, measuring approximately 243.8 × 396.4 cm (about 8’0″ × 13’0″). The composition is built on an ivory field with a fox-brown border, in the notable Kangxi style — drawing on the design vocabulary of the late 17th to early 18th-century Kangxi-era Chinese imperial carpets.
19th-century Peking carpets in the Kangxi vocabulary are particularly sought-after among collectors of antique Chinese decorative carpets.
