Antique Chinese - Peking Ivory 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite example of late 19th-century Chinese weaving presents a refined aesthetic typical of the Peking workshops. Its composition, featuring a spacious field and deeply colored border, exemplifies the enduring appeal of antique rugs from this highly sought-after period. The expansive central field utilizes a delicate, aged cream hue, placing it firmly within the desirable category of ivory color rugs. This neutral ground serves as a perfect canvas for the finely articulated motifs rendered in varying shades of indigo and pale sky blue, a classic Qing Dynasty pairing that provides striking contrast without sacrificing subtlety. The design adheres to classical Chinese conventions, featuring a central circular medallion and complementary corner spandrels filled with stylized blossoms and vines.
