Antique Peking Chinese Medallion Ivory 1880s Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of late Qing Dynasty weaving showcases the refined artistry associated with Peking production. Characterized by a striking contrast between the luminous field and the deep, saturated border, this piece is a testament to the enduring appeal of antique rugs. The expansive field is rendered in a soft, muted ivory color, allowing the delicate, dark blue vine work to float elegantly across the surface. The central medallion is subtly defined by stylized geometric fretwork, a classic Chinese motif that anchors the overall composition while maintaining visual lightness and sophisticated balance. The border presents a sophisticated layering of design, featuring wide bands of dark chocolate brown adorned with intricate geometric patterns and alternating foliate cartouches in soft tan and indigo.
