Antique Peking Chinese Allover Floral Blue 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite example of late Qing dynasty weaving represents the refined aesthetic of antique rugs originating from the Imperial workshops. Its design philosophy favors expansive open space and delicate, scattered motifs over dense, repetitive patterning. The expansive field is dominated by a sophisticated, dusty indigo, characteristic of fine blue color rugs from this period. This deep hue provides a serene and atmospheric backdrop for the scattered floral elements, which are rendered in soft beige and pale tan, creating a striking yet restrained visual harmony. The allover pattern consists of gracefully rendered flowering vines and stylized bouquets, floating freely across the central plane.
