Antique Large Chinese - Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite piece exemplifies the refined artistry of early 20th-century Chinese rugs. Characterized by a soft, luminous pile and a balanced composition, the rug presents a sophisticated departure from earlier, more saturated Ming Dynasty styles, favoring the delicate palette popular during the Republican period. The central field is dominated by a gentle rose-blush hue, which borders closely on a dusty ivory color, creating a serene and expansive ground for the detailed imagery. As a substantial room size piece, this carpet was designed to anchor a major reception space, providing both warmth and an element of Chinoiserie elegance.
