Elegant Antique Peking Carpet, c. 1900
About the Item
Chinese carpets and textiles have a rich history of weaving, dating back many centuries, particularly in the northern region of Ningxia. As these pieces began to catch the eye of the US and European markets, around the turn of the 20th Century, the weaving centers moved to the capital, then known as Peking, which enabled the creation of finer, grand-scale pieces. The designs became simpler, and more asymmetrical, tending more to modern Western furnishing tastes.
This elegant Peking carpet has a fine weave, which lends a real sense of clarity to its drawing, with a rare ivory field, complimented by a well-balanced colour palette, featuring tones of duck-egg blue, grey and soft brown accents.
Wonderfully preserved, and still retaining its original fringes and borders on all sides, this early Peking carpet is in great condition for everyday use - a design classic, rare in this large format, with a timeless charm that lends itself well to either a contemporary or traditional interior space.
