Antique Chinese - Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Blue 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite example of late Qing Dynasty weaving presents a profound indigo field, characteristic of the finest blue color rugs produced in the Peking region. The composition is elegantly balanced, featuring a delicate central medallion surrounded by scattered, auspicious motifs. The open, midnight field serves as a dramatic canvas for the meticulously rendered iconography. Elements such as stylized vases, blossoming flora, and symbols of longevity are dispersed harmoniously, creating visual interest without clutter. The corner spandrels utilize a sophisticated interplay of cream and rust tones, framing the central design with architectural precision. Crafted with the robust structure typical of Chinese workshop production, this piece exhibits exceptional clarity in its drawing.
