19th Century Chinese Peking Rug in Ivory with Lion Dogs & Auspicious Symbols

This exceptional Chinese Peking rug from the 4th quarter of the 1800s is a rare find—especially in its near-square shape, which enhances its versatility and presence. Woven in a rich wheat field color, the rug features symbolic and artistic elements that reflect traditional Chinese themes of fortune, prosperity, and longevity. At the center lies a beautifully rendered medallion with two birds perched on tree branches, a classic symbol of harmony and happiness.
