The Antique Peking Chinese Floral, Medallion Blue 1880s Rug is an exceptional example of late 19th-century Chinese weaving. This hand-knotted wool rug features a restrained palette and formal composition that reflects the aesthetic preferences of the Imperial era. The expansive central field is rendered in a rich, saturated Imperial medallion blue, providing a striking contrast to the ivory and pale taupe accents found in the central circular motif and borders. Detailed corner spandrels showcase stylized floral arrangements and traditional Chinese symbols, while the wide borders contain auspicious motifs. With its tight weave and 0.5-inch pile height, this rectangular room-sized rug offers a sophisticated blend of historical provenance and timeless elegance for any interior space.
