Oversized Antique Chinese Rug in Blue with Floral Medallions

About the Item

Hand-knotted in wool and believed to originate from China circa 1920-1930, this 16x28 antique Chinese rug is a rare oversized masterpiece, and an exciting new curation from our collection. On the Design Admirers of the craft will note that this piece is mostly likely from a special workshop of its period, as there’s a very present European influence in the sensibility. A rich blue underscores intricate floral patterns in medallions and borders of beige-brown, gold, and peach tones. Keen eyes will further admire the attention to detail in the field, where a seemingly open field actually sports a very subdued, tastefully executed repeat of fretwork patterns. Every feature, from its lush, comfortable pile to its fine detail and interesting marriage of styles is exemplary of collectibles from the Chinoiserie weaving tradition—both a masterpiece and a true collector’s rug, teeming with history and culture. Condition: This antique Chinese palace rug further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage—a rare and collectible piece of history for both designer and connoisseur alike.

Oversized Antique Chinese Peking Rug in Navy Blue with Pictorials - Rug & Kilim
Located in Long Island City, NY
Made with hand-knotted wool and originating from China, this 11x13 oversized antique Peking rug features an intricate symbolic pictorial design with Buddhist and Taoist motifs on a midnight-blue field framed by a formal ivory border—an exciting new curation from Rug & Kilim’s collection of late 19th century rugs. On the Design: Exemplifying pictorial traditions of late 19th century imperial workshop productions, this design centers on a distinctive hourglass-shaped medallion rendered in ivory with detailed scale patterns and internal floral motifs, likely representing a stylized Buddhist endless knot symbol. Surrounding this central element is a complex arrangement of auspicious symbols and narrative vignettes scattered across the deep blue field in a deliberate asymmetrical composition. Notable motifs include court figures, elephants with riders, vases, floral arrangements, and various Buddhist and Taoist emblems including ruyi scepters and cloud formations.The branching ivory-colored linear elements create structural organization across the field, connecting various pictorial elements while suggesting a cosmic or landscape framework. The border employs a formal arrangement with an ivory ground hosting Buddhist emblems and stylized floral motifs, punctuated by blue diamond patterns at the corners and midpoints. Calligraphic cartouches appear at the top and bottom borders, likely containing auspicious inscriptions or dedications. The restricted palette—predominantly indigo, ivory, and selective pale blue accents—creates visual coherence. This rug represents the refined aesthetic sensibilities of late Qing dynasty textile...
