About the Item
78422 Antique Chinese Peking Rug, 09'00 x 11'02. Bathed in the tranquil hues of dusk and flame, this hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug evokes the serene elegance of a bygone age. At the heart of the composition lies a medallion woven in beige, blue, and navy blue hues. Its floral roundel anchoring the open field of russet striations with timeless grace. The abrashed field shimmers with striations of rust, rosewood, and mahogany, resembling the twilight sky glowing behind an ancient temple. This vast open space, unburdened by excess, speaks to the Chinese aesthetic of balance—where silence is as meaningful as song, and absence holds as much weight as presence.
Scattered across the field are auspicious emblems that unfold like a poetic garden. Pairs of ritual vessels—incense burners and censers—stand as symbols of veneration and harmony, their shapes echoing temple rites and ancestral reverence. Branches of blossoming flowers—plum, peony, and chrysanthemum—intertwine with stylized leafy tendrils, each bloom laden with meaning: purity, prosperity, and the noble grace of enduring life. These scattered motifs imbue the Peking rug with a lyrical cadence, a quiet rhythm of renewal, offering blessings to all who dwell in its presence.
The wide border, a rich sapphire blue, encircles the field like the embrace of a calm sea. Here, larger still life vases overflowing with fruit, scrolls, and flowering branches emerge in each corner, anchoring the composition with themes of abundance, learning, and domestic harmony. These motifs not only reflect Qing Dynasty tastes but also convey the deep-rooted Chinese belief in the harmony between cultivated nature and the civilized home. Woven with fine precision and dyed with natural pigments that have mellowed into soft elegance over time, the border frames the rug like the carved eaves of a scholar's study.
More than a floor covering, this antique Chinese Peking rug is a woven meditation—a gentle convergence of art, culture, and symbolism. It offers the viewer not just a window into early 20th-century China, but a glimpse into the heart of Chinese philosophy, where beauty is harmony, and harmony is the highest form of wisdom. A rare and evocative piece, it would lend soul and sophistication to any space it graces, quietly whispering stories of elegance, ritual, and contemplative grace.
