The wide primary border frames the piece in a warm, creamy beige, featuring continuous scrolling vines, stylized leaves, and small floral sprays. The corners are particularly detailed, utilizing the contrasting ivory and blue tones to create graceful spandrels that echo the main border’s rhythm. The overall effect is one of sophisticated tranquility, characteristic of the Peking style.
