The Antique Ivory Hallway Runner Wool Chinese - Peking 1890s Knotted Rectangle Rug is an exceptional late 19th-century piece originating from the late Qing Dynasty. Hand-knotted in China using high-quality wool, this hallway runner features a dramatic narrative scene with an Imperial dragon, clouds, and marine life motifs. The sophisticated palette transitions from a celestial light blue to a dynamic wave pattern, primarily rendered in shades of indigo and soft ivory. Its elongated rectangular shape is perfect for corridors or grand entrances. The design showcases a unique juxtaposition of symbolic realism in the field and structured geometric floral panels in the borders. With a 0.5-inch pile height, this antique Oriental rug demonstrates the technical mastery and remarkable clarity of traditional Peking workshop weaving.
