Ivory Beige Cream White 1890s Antique Wool Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite late 19th-century piece exemplifies the refined aesthetic of Chinese Peking weaving, characterized by a restrained color palette and powerful geometric structure. The field is dominated by a luminous, softly aged ivory beige cream white ground, allowing the navy motifs to achieve maximum contrast. The design features a sparse, elegant arrangement of three central medallions—two circular and one geometric—rendered in deep indigo. These motifs are complemented by delicate corner spandrels featuring stylized cloud bands and eternal knots. While often categorized as a small scatter size rug, its powerful graphic presence ensures it commands attention in any setting.
