About the Item
79071 Antique Chinese Peking Pictorial Rug, 02'00 x 03'11. This hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking pictorial rug masterfully captures the essence of traditional Chinese artistry, merging intricate symbolism with historical richness. Set against a soft, warm-toned beige field, the focal point of the design features two elegant horses, their forms rendered in striking blue hues. These horses are more than decorative figures; in Chinese culture, horses symbolize swiftness, perseverance, and ambition. Historically, horses were associated with the northern pasturelands and central Asian routes, embodying power and prestige. Their depiction in this Peking rug may suggest aspirations for success, swiftness in advancement, or the enduring quest for exploration and accomplishment.
Accompanying the horses are two delicately woven butterflies, fluttering gracefully across the field. In Chinese symbolism, butterflies evoke joy, grace, and romantic bliss, harkening back to the tale of "The Butterfly Lovers," a story of loyalty and transcendent love. When paired with the horses, the butterflies convey a sense of harmony between grace and strength, blending the contrasting yet complementary elements of perseverance and fleeting beauty. Together, they create a visual dialogue that reflects the cycles of life, balance, and aspirations.
The Peking rug’s composition is framed by a Greek meander border, a traditional motif in Chinese art that represents continuity, protection, and the endless cycle of life. The geometric precision of this border offers a stark contrast to the more organic, fluid forms of the animals and butterflies, creating a harmonious interplay between order and natural spontaneity. This juxtaposition mirrors the philosophical dualities in Chinese culture, such as the balance between 'yin' and 'yang,' echoed through the symbolism of the horse as 'yin' when contrasted with the 'yang' of a dragon.
With its soft palette, intricate motifs, and profound cultural symbolism, this antique Chinese Peking pictorial rug is more than a decorative artifact—it is a woven canvas of history and meaning. Its depiction of horses and butterflies, along with the geometric framing, invites contemplation and appreciation for both its aesthetic beauty and its cultural depth. Ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors, this woven wonder would bring a touch of enchantment and a whisper of ancient wisdom to any space it inhabits.
