Located in New York, NY
Late 18th Century Chinese Ningxia Kang Carpet ( 6' x 10'3" - 175 x 415 ) Ningxia or Suiyuan, North Central China K’ang Carpet Structural Analysis Warp: cotton, off-white, natural, handspun, Z-4-S; Weft: cotton, off white, natural, winder plied, Z-3-S. handspun, two shoots alternating; Pile: wool, Z-3 or Z-4; Knot: PL,no alternate warp depression, 5 ½ per horizontal inch x 5 per vertical inch = 27 ½ per square inch; Sides: recovered; Ends: n.o. Weft/knots: 50/50, even. Peach border, medallion and corners corroded; sapphire blue highest. Remarks. The golden yellow field employs the classic “grains of rice” pattern with brown pips, centered by a broadly drawn peach scalloped peony medallion and en-suite corners. The matching peach tone border has inward facing peonies in one, two or three colors with short arabesque segments between. There is no corner resolution with diagonal palmettes. The inner medium dark blue border is pearled and the outermost stripe is plain as is characteristic of rugs of the period. The peony corners are bold and direct, without a plethora of intrusive minor elements. The central peony wreath is pared down as well to the most important motives. The contrast in scale between the rice grains, a size independent pattern and the vastly larger scale medallion and corners is particularly striking. The rice pattern...

19th Century Near Square Oversized Chinese Peking Rug in Wheat, Blue, Brown
Located in Barrington, IL
This rare 19th-century oversized Chinese Peking rug features a stunning near-square format and a serene open-field design reminiscent of early Ningxia carpets from the 18th and early 19th centuries. The rug's unusually beautiful wheat-colored field is adorned with soft Tiffany blue, sky-blue, and navy motifs, creating a refined and tranquil palette. The open field is subtly decorated with auspicious Chinese symbols representing fortune, prosperity, and longevity, thoughtfully arranged to bring balance and spiritual richness to the design. A flowing sky-blue meandering vine border gently frames the composition, adding elegance and movement without overpowering the minimalism of the field. With its classic color harmony and historical significance, this Peking rug is a timeless statement piece, ideal for luxury interiors, serene sanctuaries, or curated collections. Its oversized proportions and soft coloration make it perfect for anchoring grand rooms with understated sophistication.

19th Century Square Size Chinese Peking Area Rug in Ivory, Navy, Sky Blue
Located in Barrington, IL
A rare and elegant 19th-century Chinese Peking rug in an uncommon square format, this piece features a serene ivory ground complemented by accents of navy and sky blue. Its refined design includes a subtle border lattice rendered in contrasting shades of blue, offering a sophisticated balance of geometry and minimalism. The square proportions are particularly noteworthy—small Chinese Peking rugs of this shape and scale are exceedingly rare and sought after by collectors and interior designers. Originally handwoven for the elite in the Qing Dynasty period, these rugs combine aesthetic restraint with expert craftsmanship. The soft ivory tones and clean symmetry make this piece especially suited for use as wall-mounted textile art, though it remains equally impactful as a floor accent in a curated space. A true collector’s gem, ideal for those who appreciate the quiet grandeur of classical Chinese design.

Mid 19th Century Chinese Ningxia Carpet ( 17'10" x 17'10" - 545 x 545 )
Located in New York, NY
Ningxia North Central China 17'10" x 17'10" Circa 1850 Warp: cotton, off white, handspun, Z-4-S Weft: cotton, off white, handspun, 2 shoots alternating Pile: wool, 3 strand, handspun Knot: asymmetric, open left, 48 knots per square inch Sides: one cord, offwhite cotton wrapped End: no original finish This is a particularly large example of a Mandarin official’s carpet with a central medallion displaying nine lion dogs collectively symbolic of success on the national Chin Shih examination which provided guaranteed entry into the national administrative bureaucracy and the wealth devolving therefrom. The nine lion dogs are a rebus for success in the national bureaucracy. The apricot ground features 11 full or partial rows of tree paeonies, flower and stem. This carpet is particularly large and clearly was made for a highly placed official or the wealthy family of a recent graduate of whom great things were expected. The principal was probably Buddhist as indicated by the embroidered ball and precious objects in the medallion. The clouds surrounding the lion dogs form a broken, polychrome circle rather than the usual continuous cloud wreath. This is one of the several features indicating a bespoke order rather than a piece made for the market. Another indicator is the exceptional size, as the standard square Ningxia Mandarin carpet is about 12 to 14 feet square. The main border continues the colour combination, with a now apricot ground and paeonies among floral arabesques. The blue inner stripe is unusual with butterflies alternating with paired peaches...
