Chinese - Peking Blue Room Size Antique Knotted Rectangle 1890s Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of late Qing Dynasty weaving embodies the refined aesthetic of the Peking tradition, characterized by its minimal design philosophy and superb craftsmanship. Pieces of this age and condition are highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs. The expansive, unadorned field provides a dramatic backdrop for the meticulously rendered decorative elements. A central medallion anchors the composition, surrounded by delicately scattered, individual motifs including stylized butterflies and symbolic plants. This sparse arrangement distinguishes it from densely patterned floral rugs of the period, offering a sense of airy sophistication.
