Ivory Antique Chinese Floral Dragon Medallion Design Room Size Peking Rug

Antique Peking Chinese Geometric Beige 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late Qing Dynasty textile showcases the refined artistry of Peking weaving, characterized by its open composition and sophisticated use of negative space. The expansive field is rendered in a soft, luminous beige hue, providing a perfect canvas for the detailed naturalistic motifs. The central design avoids a traditional medallion, instead featuring a panoramic, asymmetrical arrangement of swallows, flowering plum branches, and stylized water elements. These symbolic motifs—representing longevity, happiness, and prosperity—are executed in striking indigo and pale blue tones, creating a dramatic contrast against the neutral ground.
