Chinese Peking / 20314

This Chinese Peking antique rug, 218 x 312 cm, balances a pale, time-softened field with indigo, blue, cream and neutral accents. Its scattered emblematic motifs are arranged with measured ease, then enclosed by layered borders and a strong Greek key outer band that gives the composition clear structure. The wool pile shows medium wear, with visible fading that softens the contrast and deepens the rug’s calm, age-worn presence. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the composed geometry and restrained ornament often associated with Peking rugs, rendered here in a palette that feels cool, lived-in, and quietly expressive.
