About the Item
An extremely rare early 20th century pictorial Chinese rug depicting Chinese scholar's objects like potted peonies and chrysanthemums, citron (Buddha's Fingers) with a censor, and a peach, all symbols of longevity and prosperity. The border is wonderful, with a wide floral and vine pattern running in a circular fashion around the rug. The rare quality of this rug lies not in the imagery, but in the color. Most Central Asian rugs utilize crimsons, golds, oranges, and natural brown wools, however this example is woven mostly in varying shades of indigo, reminiscent of traditional Chinese blue and white pottery.

19th Century Near Square Oversized Chinese Peking Rug in Wheat, Blue, Brown
Located in Barrington, IL
This rare 19th-century oversized Chinese Peking rug features a stunning near-square format and a serene open-field design reminiscent of early Ningxia carpets from the 18th and early 19th centuries.
