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. This focal point is surrounded by a series of auspicious Chinese symbols, creating a visual rhythm that is both meaningful and serene. The rug’s color palette includes elegant shades of baby blue, French blue, navy, brown, and antique ivory, giving the piece a soft, timeless sophistication. The lattice-style border and open field composition are reminiscent of 18th and early 19th century Ningxia carpets, known for their refined minimalism and spiritual elegance.
