Antique Large Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional Chinese Peking rug captures the refined aesthetic of the late Qing Dynasty, characterized by its open field design and restrained use of color. The impressive scale of this piece makes it a truly large oversized rug, ideal for grand interiors seeking historical authenticity and sophisticated visual impact. The expansive field is dominated by a rare, luminous hue, best described as a subtle coral color. This warm ground serves as a canvas for scattered, stylized motifs of butterflies, vases, and small flowering branches executed primarily in various shades of indigo and pale blue. This minimalist approach highlights the quality of the wool and the brilliance of the natural dyes. A complex series of borders frames the central panel.
