About the Item

77439 Antique Chinese Peking Rug, 11'10 x 18'09. This exquisite hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug is a masterpiece of balance and symbolism, seamlessly blending traditional artistry with an air of refined elegance. At its heart, a gracefully rounded open medallion is adorned with stylized florals, leafy tendrils, and a delicately fluttering butterfly—an enduring symbol of joy, transformation, and the fleeting beauty of life. This central motif, set against a serene open field, creates a sense of tranquility, inviting contemplation and appreciation for the timeless aesthetic of Chinese textile design. Scattered across the field, an enchanting array of symbolic elements unfolds, each woven with deep cultural meaning. Ducks and birds, often associated with fidelity and harmony, are nestled among blossoming bouquets, while auspicious Ruyi clouds drift gracefully, signifying good fortune and divine blessings. Bamboo leaf sprays, revered for their resilience and strength, weave through the design, alongside elegant vases that embody peace, prosperity, and scholarly refinement. These motifs work in concert to create a visual narrative that speaks to the harmony between nature and human life. Angular florals and flowing foliage gracefully extend from the corner spandrels, accented by the gentle presence of a butterfly, reinforcing themes of joy and romantic bliss. The Peking rug’s striking border adds yet another layer of intrigue, featuring a patchwork of delicate blossoms overlaid upon a stylized wave pattern—an allusion to water’s life-giving force and its eternal, unbroken flow.
