The Antique Peking Chinese Medallion Blue 1890s Blue Rug is an exceptional example of late 19th-century Chinese weaving. This hand-knotted wool rug features a dramatic, nearly monochromatic field of deep indigo, characteristic of the finest Peking workshops. The sophisticated design highlights traditional iconography, including scattered phoenixes and stylized floral sprays in contrasting gold and ochre tones. At the center, a magnificent circular medallion depicting mythological creatures serves as a focal point, framed by meticulous fretwork borders. With a substantial rectangular shape and a 0.5-inch pile height, this room-sized piece offers both historical significance and a powerful visual impact. Its rich blue color and oriental pattern make it a sophisticated choice for anchoring a major reception room.
