Antique Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Beige 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving embodies the refined aesthetic of the Peking style. Its design prioritizes open space, characteristic of the finest antique rugs from this period, allowing the subtle beauty of the wool and the clarity of the design elements to shine. The expansive field is rendered in a soft, luminous tone, falling within the spectrum of ivory beige color that was highly sought after for Western interiors. This light ground serves as a perfect foil for the delicate central medallion, which is composed of finely drawn scrolling vines and stylized blossoms in muted blues and subtle terracotta accents. A striking contrast is achieved by the wide, dark indigo border.
