The Antique Large Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Knotted Rug is an exceptional piece from the late 1880s, capturing the refined aesthetic of the Qing Dynasty. This hand-knotted wool rug features an expansive, luminous salmon coral pink field that serves as a canvas for stylized motifs of butterflies, vases, and flowering branches. Executed in shades of indigo and pale blue, the minimalist design highlights the quality of the natural dyes and meticulous craftsmanship. A complex series of borders, including a scrolling vine pattern with traditional Chinese symbols, frames the central panel in cream and deep navy blue. With its impressive scale and historical authenticity, this rectangular rug represents a sophisticated intersection of imperial taste and regional Chinese weaving, making it a highly desirable collectible for grand interiors.
