About the Item
78762 Antique Blue Chinese Peking Rug, 04'00 x 05'09. Chinese Peking rugs, originating from Beijing (formerly known as Peking), China, are renowned for their intricate designs, vibrant colors, and thick wool pile. Crafted using traditional weaving techniques, these rugs feature motifs like dragons, floral patterns, and traditional Chinese symbols, reflecting their rich history and cultural significance. Initially produced for the imperial court and affluent households in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Peking rugs gained popularity in the West and remain prized for their beauty and craftsmanship. Today, they continue to be produced in China, serving as cherished pieces of art and décor appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
In this exquisite hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug, Chinoiserie Chic merges seamlessly with Jazz Age elegance. Its abrashed sapphire blue field hosts a simple yet captivating floral design, while an elegant floral border on a navy blue backdrop encloses it. The ensemble of flowers depicted includes lotuses, peonies, chrysanthemums, and plum blossoms, each symbolizing a season in Chinese culture. Lotuses, representing summer, symbolize purity and perfection, emerging immaculate from muddy swamps; peonies, the heralds of spring, epitomize unmatched beauty and honor, long considered symbols of affluence. Chrysanthemums, associated with autumn, signify longevity and a golden retirement, with dried petals infused in wine believed to bestow longevity upon drinkers. Plum blossoms, the embodiment of winter, symbolize resilience and strength, blooming brightly amid the cold. Delicately fluttering butterflies within the composition add a touch of joy to this profound tapestry, making it a captivating piece that evokes the opulence of the Jazz Age and carries profound symbolism suitable for various interiors.
Each element of this antique Chinese Peking rug is imbued with rich cultural significance, from the seasonal flowers to the fluttering butterflies.
