Antique Peking Chinese Medallion Red 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century Chinese weaving captures the restrained elegance typical of the Peking style. The deep, saturated red field provides a dramatic presence, a hallmark of these decorative red color rugs. The composition is anchored by a striking central medallion featuring a stylized swan or phoenix, rendered in subtle tones of red. Flanking this centerpiece are four cartouches, each enclosing a graceful deer motif encircled by delicate floral wreaths. The open field allows these symbolic elements to breathe, creating a sense of sophisticated balance and visual harmony. The complex border system utilizes multiple guard bands, featuring stylized clouds, ribbons, and traditional Chinese symbols like the Endless Knot, all executed in various shades of red.
