Chinese Blue Peking Area Rug - Circa 1940

About the Item

This elegant Peking Rug, dating to circa 1940, showcases the classic craftsmanship and refined aesthetics of Chinese textile art. Measuring 275cm x 185cm, the rug’s striking palette is dominated by rich shades of teal and navy blue, accented by subtle pops of coral and cream in the floral and geometric patterns. The central medallion is a beautiful arrangement of intricate florals and scrolls, surrounded by clusters of stylized flowers, embodying the serene and harmonious designs typical of Peking rugs from the early 20th century. The wide border, highlighted with traditional fretwork motifs, is decorated with complementary floral elements, creating a balanced and visually compelling frame. The pile is plush and velvety, offering both comfort and durability. While it exhibits some natural signs of age, including a few minor stains, the overall condition is good, with its colors retaining a vibrant depth that speaks to the rug’s quality and careful maintenance over the decades. This Peking rug would make an exquisite addition to any room, adding a touch of timeless elegance and cultural sophistication. Perfect for collectors of vintage rugs or anyone looking to enhance their space with a unique piece of history, this rug not only offers aesthetic appeal but also a rich connection to the artistic traditions of early 20th-century China.
