Antique Chinese - Peking Chinese Blue 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of late 19th-century weaving represents the zenith of the Peking style, characterized by its sophisticated use of open space and symbolic motifs. Such pieces are highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs due to their distinctive palette and superior wool quality, setting them apart from later 20th-century productions. The central field is dominated by a rich, saturated indigo, a hue that defines the classic Peking aesthetic. This deep tone creates a dramatic backdrop for the scattered, naturalistic elements rendered primarily in soft ivory and delicate blush pink. The masterful use of negative space allows the vibrant primary color to truly resonate, making this a standout piece among blue color rugs of the period.
