19th Century Chinese Peking Rug in Ivory with Lion Dogs & Auspicious Symbols
Located in Barrington, IL
This beautiful 19th century Chinese Peking rug features a refined and balanced open field design set in a soft pale cream background, evoking a sense of calm and understated elegance. At the heart of the composition is a large medallion adorned with lion dogs, traditional guardians in Chinese culture, symbolizing protection and strength.
Surrounding the medallion are classic Chinese motifs for fortune, prosperity, and long life, artfully arranged in a way that feels both symbolic and serene. The color palette includes baby blue, deep navy, soft brown, and antique ivory, lending the rug a timeless appeal and versatility in interior design.
The structure of the rug—an open field with a subtle lattice border—mirrors the aesthetic found in Ningxia carpets from the 18th and early 19th centuries, known for their elegant restraint and spiritual symbolism.
