Antique Chinese - Peking Chinese Yellow 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century Peking rug captivates with its brilliant, saturated yellow field. The use of this specific hue places it among the most desirable yellow color rugs of the period, contrasting sharply with the deep indigo main border.

This highly decorative piece showcases classic Chinese floral rugs patterns interpreted with restrained elegance.
