Antique Chinese - Peking Ivory 1935 Rug, Circa Date: 1935. This exquisite example of early 20th-century Peking weaving showcases the refincllized floral sprays, ribbons, and lanterns, scattered gracefully across the expanse. Contrast is achieved through the formal, structured central medallion and corner spandrels, which introduce intricate Greek key borders and geometric elements that anchor the otherwise ethereal composition. Woven during a period of peak Western appreciation for Asian aesthetics, this piece transcends mere utility, serving as a powerful decorative statement. Its substantial dimensions classify it as a large oversized rug, making it ideally suited for grand living rooms, formal dining areas, or expansive gallery spaces where its subtle beauty can be fully appreciated.
