About the Item
After being influenced by the nomadic tribes of East Turkestan (Western China), rug weaving developed a rich industry commercially in China from as early as the 16th century. Chinese carpets are noted for the very distinct deep indigo blue employed in their pieces, the natural dyes of which originating from a collection of plants known as ‘Lan Cao’.
Around the turn of the century, Peking (Beijing) became the center for rug-weaving in China. Producing rugs of all sizes, Peking rugs are characterized by their unique texture and feel and dense wool which create a thicker pile that would sit seamlessly on the floor.
Woven in a palatial size, this Peking carpet tells its story with a wide range of colors and a unique design. A central medallion using characteristic Chinese design elements is placed on a sea of a trellis-designed interconnected rosettes. Cinnabar-colored spandrels and a highly imaginative border complete this very special piece.
