Antique Peking Hallway Runner Wool Sand Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite piece represents the finest of late 19th-century Chinese weaving, characterized by its elegant simplicity and masterful use of negative space. As one of our premier antique rugs, it showcases the refined court aesthetic that defined the Peking tradition. The palette is particularly striking, featuring a vast, luminous field of natural sand color wool, which provides a serene backdrop for the detailed motifs. This neutral ground is dramatically framed and accented by rich, deep cobalt blue, typical of the high-quality mineral dyes used during the period. The design employs a classical Chinese layout, centered around a delicate circular medallion composed of intricate floral and vine scrollwork.
