Antique Chinese Peking Carpet, 06'03 x 08'07

About the Item

78921 Distressed Antique Chinese Peking Rug, 06'03 x 08'07. This antique hand-knotted Chinese Peking rug evokes an air of timeless elegance and cultural richness, perfectly embodying the essence of Confucian philosophy. Its light brown field serves as a serene backdrop, offering a tranquil canvas that speaks to the ideals of harmony and balance so deeply rooted in Confucian teachings. At the heart of the rug, a round floral medallion encircled by curling vine scrolls symbolizes the continuous cycle of growth and renewal, reflecting the Confucian value of self-cultivation and personal refinement. The soft, aged patina of the wool lends an aura of wisdom, suggesting a piece that has been cherished through generations. The lovingly time-worn field is adorned with a series of symbolic motifs that further enhance the narrative woven into the rug's fabric. Pedestal vases, known for their association with scholarship and wisdom, stand as tributes to the pursuit of knowledge and learning. Delicate boats gently sail across the design, perhaps representing the journey of life and the importance of moral guidance. Birds, symbols of freedom and transcendence, flutter above, while chrysanthemums, signifying longevity and virtue, bloom in elegant simplicity. The triple structures in each corner echo themes of stability, grounding the design in the foundational principles of balance and order. A deep navy blue border frames the rug, featuring ancient Chinese symbols that further illuminate its cultural and philosophical significance. Fish bowls, found in each corner, suggest abundance and prosperity, while vases, teapots, and scroll motifs tied with ribbons narrate tales of hospitality, intellect, and the importance of ritual in everyday life. The interplay of these elements against the rich blue hue creates a striking contrast, bringing depth and dimension to the rug's overall aesthetic. An inner guard border with repeating trefoil motifs adds a final touch of finesse, encapsulating the entire composition with an elegant rhythm that mirrors the eternal cycles of nature and the cosmos. This exquisite Chinese Peking rug is not merely a decorative item; it is a visual manifestation of Confucian ideals, weaving together the virtues of scholarship, morality, and harmony into a timeless work of art that continues to inspire and captivate. Rendered in variegated shades of light brown, navy blue, rose, mauve, royal blue, tan, cerulean, and taupe with other accent colors. Distressed. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Hand knotted wool.
