Antique Chinese – Peking Chinese Ivory 1930s Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional piece represents the height of the Peking Art Deco style, characterized by its luxurious wool pile and sophisticated, monochromatic design. It is a superb example among our curated collection of antique rugs.
The palette is deliberately restrained, utilizing various shades of cream and beige to achieve a remarkable depth without relying on high contrast. This soft, luminous shade of ivory beige allows the intricate carving and subtle texture of the wool to take precedence, offering a tranquil foundation for any interior.
The design features a magnificent border of stylized dragons and Ruyi clouds, executed in a slightly deeper tone than the central field. While the field remains relatively open, the comprehensive integration of the traditional motifs creates a continuous, flowing aesthetic, akin to the finest allover rugs of the period.
The unique oval shape of this weaving makes it an ideal choice for placement beneath a circular dining table or in a grand sitting area. Its substantial dimensions qualify it as one of our exceptional room size rugs, providing both historical gravitas and unparalleled softness underfoot.
