Antique Indigo Chinese Peking Carpet with Traditional Qing Dynasty Style
Located in Dallas, TX
77439 Antique Chinese Peking Rug, 11'10 x 18'09. This exquisite hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug is a masterpiece of balance and symbolism, seamlessly blending traditional artistry with an air of refined elegance. At its heart, a gracefully rounded open medallion is adorned with stylized florals, leafy tendrils, and a delicately fluttering butterfly—an enduring symbol of joy, transformation, and the fleeting beauty of life. This central motif, set against a serene open field, creates a sense of tranquility, inviting contemplation and appreciation for the timeless aesthetic of Chinese textile design.
Scattered across the field, an enchanting array of symbolic elements unfolds, each woven with deep cultural meaning. Ducks and birds, often associated with fidelity and harmony, are nestled among blossoming bouquets, while auspicious Ruyi clouds drift gracefully, signifying good fortune and divine blessings. Bamboo leaf sprays, revered for their resilience and strength, weave through the design, alongside elegant vases that embody peace, prosperity, and scholarly refinement. These motifs work in concert to create a visual narrative that speaks to the harmony between nature and human life.
Angular florals and flowing foliage gracefully extend from the corner spandrels, accented by the gentle presence of a butterfly, reinforcing themes of joy and romantic bliss. The Peking rug’s striking border adds yet another layer of intrigue, featuring a patchwork of delicate blossoms overlaid upon a stylized wave pattern—an allusion to water’s life-giving force and its eternal, unbroken flow. Interspersed within the waves, small cartouches hold intricately rendered vases and planters, further emphasizing themes of abundance and cultivated beauty.
With its classic formal design, well-balanced color palette, and exquisite floral motifs, this antique Chinese Peking rug is a statement of sophistication and cultural heritage. Whether placed in a stately interior or an intimate, contemplative space, it carries with it an aura of grace, serenity, and quiet opulence. A true testament to the artistry of Chinese rug weaving, it remains as relevant today as it was in its time of origin, offering both timeless beauty and a deep sense of meaning.
This hand knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug features a rounded open medallion decorated with stylized florals, leafy tendrils and a butterfly delicately fluttering in the center, a butterfly, a symbol of joy, completes the composition. Additional bouquets composed of ducks, birds, Ruyi clouds, bamboo leaf sprays, and vases decorate the field. Angular florals and foliage with a butterfly emanate from the corner spandrels. The unique border features a patchwork of small blossoms overlaid upon a stylized sea or wave pattern alternating with small cartouches containing vase and planter motifs. With its Classic formal design, well-harmonized color palette, and graceful floral motifs, this antique Chinese Peking rug would be a refined, yet comfortable, addition to any interior.
