Antique Chinese - Peking Chinese Allover Floral Blue 1893 Rug, Circa Date: 1893. This exceptional example of late Qing Dynasty weaving presents the refined aesthetic typical of Peking production. Its deep, saturated indigo field provides a dramatic contrast to the delicate border, showcasing why antique rugs from this period are highly sought after by discerning collectors. The expansive, almost monochromatic field is rendered in a magnificent, velvety midnight blue. This specific shade, common among the finest blue color rugs of the era, was achieved using the highest quality natural dyes, allowing the silk-like sheen of the wool to absorb and reflect light with subtle variation. The intentional negative space emphasizes the rug's architectural quality and modern sensibility, despite its age.
