About the Item
77524 Antique Blue Chinese Peking Rug, 09'01 x 11'06. A rare and resplendent testament to the art of imperial refinement, this hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug is an object of sheer enchantment—a collector's jewel that bridges symbolic depth with visual opulence. Woven during the golden age of early 20th-century Chinese artistry, this exceptional piece features an abrashed navy blue field as rich as a midnight sky, alive with vibrant florals and fluttering butterflies. At its heart blooms an elegant floral medallion, where four distinct blossoms—lotus, peony, chrysanthemum, and plum blossom—intertwine in a harmonious representation of the Four Seasons. Their convergence forms a poetic cycle of renewal and endurance, each petal a brushstroke in a story of time, nature, and timeless grace.
Throughout the composition, four pairs of butterflies dance delicately across the field, their wings symbols of joy, grace, and romantic longevity. In Chinese culture, paired butterflies are not merely decorative; they are profound emblems of lasting love and the enduring pursuit of happiness. Their presence amidst the floral medallion evokes the ancient legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, whose unbreakable bond transformed them into butterflies for eternity. These fluttering forms imbue the rug with movement and emotion, offering a wish for both bliss and vitality to the space it graces.
The border, a masterwork in its own right, features vases overflowing with blooms—symbols of cultivated peace and the refined pleasures of the scholar’s life. Each corner hosts a dignified pair of vases, while floral tendrils exuberantly breach the boundary, dissolving the divide between center and edge. This motif of overflow is more than ornamental—it is a metaphor for abundance so profound it cannot be contained. The rug pulses with a life force that seems to grow from within its very threads, creating a sense of ever-blossoming vitality. It’s a rug that does not merely define a space—it animates it, filling it with harmony, history, and the quiet drama of nature in full bloom.
Reserved for the discerning collector or connoisseur of cultural luxury, this antique Chinese Peking rug is more than a furnishing—it is an experience, a statement of legacy and cultivated taste. Scarce in both design and condition, it speaks to those who value prestige entwined with meaning, offering not just a visual treasure, but a philosophical one. To own such a piece is to partake in a centuries-old tradition of symbolic beauty, where every knot whispers of prosperity, resilience, joy, and the eternal elegance of nature’s finest poetry.
