Originating from China in 1900. This antique traditional Peking wool rug features a medallion-style flower vase motif in the center of its field. Complemented by distinct navy blue and golden-tan colorways against a copper background (framed in highly stylized spandrels), the innermost borders portray sequenced pearls and meandering characters representing wisdom and running water respectively, outlined by a series of gentle, curvilinear lotuses representing rebirth and immortality.
