Antique Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Ivory Beige Cream White 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exquisite Peking carpet captures the refined elegance of early 20th-century Chinese weaving, utilizing a soft, luminous field of ivory beige cream white wool. The palette is restrained yet impactful, focusing on subtle shades of blue, gold, and taupe against the expansive neutral ground, creating a sense of serene sophistication. The design eschews traditional central symmetry in favor of a dispersed arrangement of pictorial roundels and stylized vase motifs. These medallions often depict miniature landscapes, including pagodas, trees, and water scenes, rendered with delicate, almost calligraphic lines characteristic of the period. This open composition allows the field to breathe, enhancing the overall sense of tranquility and space. A defining feature is the dual border system.
