Chinese carpet mid-19th c., hand-knotted in wool, background color beige with blue end border, a color that characterizes Chinese carpets. It has a central medallion adorned with peonies, and other symbolic flowers. Its edging is very distinctive and unusual we find represented "the thunder" , a symbol of infinite fortune. The carpet described is an ancient carpet from the Ningxia (Ninghsia) region, an area historically renowned for the production of high-quality carpets in Kansu Province (present-day Gansu), located in western China. Ningxia reached its peak as a center of carpet weaving between the 18th and 19th centuries, when local artisans developed a distinctive style characterized by fine patterns, natural colors and advanced knotting techniques.
