Made with hand-knotted wool and originating from China, this 11x13 oversized antique Peking rug features an intricate symbolic pictorial design with Buddhist and Taoist motifs on a midnight-blue field framed by a formal ivory border—an exciting new curation from Rug & Kilim’s collection of late 19th century rugs. On the Design: Exemplifying pictorial traditions of late 19th century imperial workshop productions, this design centers on a distinctive hourglass-shaped medallion rendered in ivory with detailed scale patterns and internal floral motifs, likely representing a stylized Buddhist endless knot symbol. Surrounding this central element is a complex arrangement of auspicious symbols and narrative vignettes scattered across the deep blue field in a deliberate asymmetrical composition. Notable motifs include court figures, elephants with riders, vases, floral arrangements, and various Buddhist and Taoist emblems including ruyi scepters and cloud formations.The branching ivory-colored linear elements create structural organization across the field, connecting various pictorial elements while suggesting a cosmic or landscape framework. The border employs a formal arrangement with an ivory ground hosting Buddhist emblems and stylized floral motifs, punctuated by blue diamond patterns at the corners and midpoints. Calligraphic cartouches appear at the top and bottom borders, likely containing auspicious inscriptions or dedications. The restricted palette—predominantly indigo, ivory, and selective pale blue accents—creates visual coherence. This rug represents the refined aesthetic sensibilities of late Qing dynasty textile...

Hand-knotted in wool circa 1950-1959, this 4x9 vintage Turkish runner originating from Turkey is a vibrant addition to Rug & Kilim's collection. It highlights a bold geometric medallion pattern curated in a striking polychromatic palette across a beautiful field. On the Design: Connoisseurs of Anatolian weaving will immediately be drawn to the remarkable density and tribal authenticity of this mid-century Turkish piece. The visual juxtaposition presents a magnificent array of prominent, stepped star medallions that gracefully anchor a warm, time-softened beige field. Surrounding these bold central figures is an incredibly rich tapestry of archaic tribal motifs—including rosettes, geometric amulets, and stylized stars—curated in a wonderfully faded polychromatic palette of indigo, rust red, teal, and gold. This masterful interplay of densely packed geometry and vivid, contrasting hues creates a highly rhythmic, deeply immersive visual experience. The complex field is beautifully contained by a series of traditional borders, most notably a striking primary band of repeating geometric stars and a classic, meandering outer guard stripe that perfectly frames the historic design. Beyond its dynamic patterns, keen eyes will appreciate the authentic patina that speaks to its mid-century origins, offering the highly sought-after worn-in aesthetic that collectors revere. Brimming with cultural resonance and rustic grandeur, this versatile piece serves as an extraordinary foundational anchor, ideal for wide corridors, grand entryways, or eclectic spaces seeking a touch of historic tribal artistry. Condition: This vintage Turkish extra long runner...
