About the Item

Antique 1860s Chinese Peking Rug Size: 11'0" x 11'3" (335 x 342 cm) This exquisite antique Chinese rug, dating from the 1860s, is a superb representation of the refined craftsmanship of the Peking weaving tradition. A striking example of balance and symmetry, the rug features a restrained palette of indigo, navy, ivory, and pale blue, creating a serene yet richly detailed composition. The focal point of the design is the central roundel, which showcases the traditional Chinese Shou symbol, representing longevity, surrounded by a medallion of imperial guardian lions (also known as Fu dogs). These mythical creatures, revered for their protective symbolism, are rendered in deep navy and bright cerulean blue, adding both cultural depth and graphic contrast to the composition. Surrounding the medallion is a highly decorative field of peony blossoms and cloud band motifs arranged in a meandering lattice pattern. The peony, known as the “king of flowers,” symbolizes wealth, prosperity, and honor in Chinese art, while the scrolling tendrils that connect them evoke continuity and natural rhythm. The broad main border features repeating lotus blossoms, bordered on the inside by a Greek key fret motif and an outer narrow floral stripe. These frames offer both structural harmony and a visual buffer that enhances the complexity of the central field. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the rug's velvety pile and luxurious sheen are a testament to the artisan’s attention to detail. Despite its age, the piece retains remarkable vibrancy and clarity, a testament to both the enduring quality of the materials and the care in its preservation. Whether placed in a traditional interior or used as a focal piece in a modern space, this antique Chinese rug offers not only aesthetic beauty but also profound cultural resonance. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
