Antique Peking Chinese Allover Beige 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late Qing Dynasty weaving presents a monumental composition characterized by its sophisticated use of negative space and symbolic density. The expansive beige field provides a luminous ground for the bold, graphic motifs rendered primarily in deep indigo and accents of coral. This combination speaks to the refined taste of the era, balancing traditional iconography with a modern, open design sensibility. The design eschews a central medallion in favor of an allover arrangement of symbolic cartouches and floating Ruyi clouds. Prominently featured are depictions of figures and animals—such as the elegant deer—all enclosed within midnight blue reserves.
