Antique Peking Chinese Allover Geometric Beige 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional Chinese Peking weaving from the early 20th century showcases a sophisticated blend of traditional motifs and modern allover design sensibilities. It represents a key period in the evolution of antique rugs where Eastern artistry began to appeal strongly to Western decorative tastes. The palette is notably restrained, centering on warm tonal variations of beige and tan, beautifully contrasted by a deep, saturated indigo used for the primary border and the internal patterning. The field employs a dense, repeating diamond lattice, each intersection marked by a small dot, creating a highly organized and balanced visual rhythm. This use of ivory beige cream tones provides a luminous foundation for the darker motifs.
