About the Item
78979 Vintage Chinese Round Peking Pictorial Rug, 04'00 x 03'09. This exquisite hand-knotted wool vintage Chinese round Peking pictorial rug is a captivating example of traditional Chinese artistry infused with profound cultural symbolism. The deep navy-blue field is adorned with a carefully balanced composition of motifs, each rich in meaning. In the foreground, a graceful deer stands beneath a tree with golden blooms, signifying longevity and prosperity. In Chinese culture, the deer, or "Lu," is considered a creature of fortune, believed to be able to locate the rare and mystical lingzhi fungus, which is said to grant immortality. The presence of the deer in this Chinese Peking rug conveys wishes for a long and prosperous life.
To the left of the deer, a phoenix spreads its wings in flight, embodying beauty, grace, and heavenly power. This legendary bird, revered in Chinese culture, is often associated with the Empress and represents nobility and dignity. The phoenix symbolizes the virtues of femininity, grace, and prosperity, while also suggesting a powerful connection to the divine. As a heavenly creature, its presence on the rug evokes themes of harmony and balance, reinforcing the idea of celestial blessings bestowed upon the home.
Further enriching the symbolism is the lingzhi mushroom, subtly incorporated within the design. In Chinese culture, the lingzhi, or the "mushroom of immortality," represents divine power and longevity. Its inclusion alongside the deer reinforces the theme of everlasting life and good fortune. The scene depicted on this rug reflects the Chinese pursuit of longevity, harmony with nature, and the aspiration for divine favor, making it much more than a decorative piece—it's a profound expression of cultural values.
Encircled by a golden border with delicate floral scrolls, this round Peking rug is not only a work of art but also a symbol of good fortune and well-being. The luxurious wool pile, along with the intricate details, reflects the exceptional craftsmanship typical of Peking rugs. With its elegant blend of pictorial storytelling and deep-rooted Chinese symbolism, this vintage round Peking rug would bring a sense of harmony, elegance, and cultural richness to any interior space, making it a treasured addition to both traditional and contemporary settings alike.
Rendered in variegated shades of navy blue, tan, blue, brown, sky blue, golden beige, and lavender with other accent colors.
