Chinese Peking / 15271

This Chinese Peking antique rug carries a deep blue field enclosed by a dark floral border, where cream flowers, pale aqua details, and a bird motif create a measured, lyrical composition. The scalloped corner spandrels and scrolling vine border lend structure, while the worn wool surface softens the palette into something quietly atmospheric. Medium distress is visible in the gentle fading and relaxed edge character, both of which speak to age without overwhelming the design. Sized at 79 x 142 cm, this piece reads with poise and restraint. Circa 1915 - 1930.
