Chinese Knotted 1890s Room Size Square Wool Blue Antique - Peking Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century Peking example represents the pinnacle of Chinese court weaving, characterized by its deep, saturated indigo field and sophisticated composition. As one of the most desirable categories of antique rugs, this piece showcases the refined artistry prevalent during the Qing Dynasty's twilight years. The field is dominated by a midnight indigo, a challenging dye to achieve with such uniformity, providing a dramatic backdrop for the secondary colors. The palette contrasts the profound depth of the main field with accents of soft beige, pale sky blue, and subtle coral, a signature combination often sought in high-quality blue color rugs. The central medallion, though subdued, anchors the composition with traditional Chinese symbolism.
