Antique Chinese - Peking Large Wool Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late Qing Dynasty weaving exemplifies the refined elegance characteristic of Peking production. Its design philosophy, prioritizing open space and symbolic motifs, distinguishes it among antique rugs of the period. The expansive field is rendered in a soft, luminous ivory color, providing a perfect counterpoint to the deep indigo and lighter sky-blue accents used for the scattered pictorial elements. This subtle palette ensures the piece remains versatile and sophisticated, easily complementing both traditional and contemporary interiors. Three prominent circular medallions anchor the composition, depicting stylized birds and mythical creatures surrounded by scrolling clouds.
