1890s Rectangle Wool Antique Ivory Beige Cream White Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving exemplifies the refined aesthetic of Chinese Peking production. The expansive field is rendered in a soft, luminous palette of ivory beige cream white, providing a serene backdrop for the sparse, yet impactful, indigo motifs. The composition is centered around a striking circular medallion depicting a mythological beast, possibly a Qilin or stylized dragon, rendered in deep navy blue. This central element is balanced by delicate, free-floating birds scattered across the main field, a characteristic feature of high-quality antique rugs from this period, emphasizing spaciousness and tranquility. The border system is complex, featuring multiple guard bands.
