Antique Chinese - Peking Chinese Geometric Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1875. This exceptional example of a late Qing Dynasty weaving showcases the refined artistry characteristic of Peking workshops. Its design balances the traditional Chinese preference for organic motifs with a strong, architectural framework, making it a highly desirable piece among antique rugs. The palette is classic and restrained, utilizing a rich indigo blue against a highly desirable field of warm, golden ivory color rugs. The central ground is densely populated by an elegant, meandering vine scroll interspersed with stylized chrysanthemum blossoms, creating a sophisticated visual texture that avoids the use of a central medallion. Surrounding the lush field, a series of meticulously rendered borders provides structure.
