About the Item

79078 Antique Chinese Peking Rug, 06'03 x 09'01. This hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug is a stunning representation of Chinese artistry and cultural symbolism, showcasing a harmonious blend of intricate motifs and vibrant colors. Set against a rich sapphire blue field, the Peking rug features a symmetrical arrangement of circular medallions adorned with floral designs. These medallions are intricately detailed with peonies, lotus blossoms, and chrysanthemums, symbolizing wealth, purity, and longevity, respectively. Each medallion reflects the timeless beauty and harmony of nature, an essential theme in Chinese art and philosophy. Delicate butterflies flutter gracefully across the field, adding a sense of movement and life to the design. In Chinese culture, butterflies are powerful symbols of joy, grace, and romantic bliss. They evoke the legendary tale of "The Butterfly Lovers," a story of devotion and eternal love. Their presence on this Peking rug, combined with the floral motifs, creates a visual celebration of love, prosperity, and the cycles of nature. The butterflies also symbolize summer and the vitality of social and romantic connections, making this Chinese rug a testament to the harmony of human and natural worlds. The Greek Key border of the rug is framed by a striking geometric meander pattern in soft pastel hues, including mauve, orange, and ivory, contrasting elegantly with the lively blue of the central field. This pattern, known as the fretwork motif, symbolizes continuity and protection. The meander design encases the Peking rug’s lively interior, providing a structured frame that balances the fluidity of the floral and butterfly elements. This interplay between organic and geometric forms reflects the dualities present in Chinese philosophy, such as yin and yang, where opposing forces are perfectly balanced. With its vibrant color palette, intricate symbolism, and masterful craftsmanship, this antique Chinese Peking rug transcends functionality to become a work of art. Its motifs, steeped in Chinese tradition, imbue this woven wonder with layers of meaning, making it a captivating addition to nearly any home. Whether placed in a traditional or contemporary setting, this Peking rug will bring an aura of elegance, cultural richness, and timeless beauty, connecting its viewers to the profound artistry of Chinese heritage.
