Wool Room Size Antique Chinese 1880s Knotted Rectangle Blue - Peking Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of a late 19th-century Peking weaving captures the restrained elegance characteristic of the period. Its construction confirms its status among the finest antique rugs produced during the Qing Dynasty's final decades. The expansive field is rendered in a sublime, softly faded robin's egg or sky blue, providing a serene backdrop for the scattered, stylized motifs. This delicate shade common among blue color rugs contrasts beautifully with the accents of deep indigo, creamy ivory, and a warm, earthy sienna that defines the intricate borders. A large, circular central medallion dominates the composition, filled with scrolling vines and stylized cloud bands.
