Antique Chinese - Peking Room Size Wool Yellow Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This magnificent example of late Qing Dynasty weaving originates from the imperial workshops near Peking. Its substantial dimensions classify it as a true room size rug, ideal for anchoring a grand reception space or formal dining area. The field is dominated by a luminous, pale saffron hue, a color historically reserved for the highest echelons of Chinese society. This radiant yellow rug provides a striking yet elegant backdrop for the intricate, scattered motifs of stylized clouds and auspicious symbols rendered in deep indigo and warm tan. At the heart of the composition lies a powerful, five-clawed dragon, executed in saturated blue wool, surrounded by the Eight Buddhist Emblems (Bajixiang).
