A rare Chinese Antique Rug. Sourced from my comprehensive catalogues of current and past auction items.
Antique Peking Carpet, China, early twentieth century - A small openwork medallion is complemented by four see-through vinescroll medallions on this suavely elegant antique Peking. The intervening ground is entirely filled by a fine mesh of tint flowers that function virtually as no more a textured brocade, approaching the effect of an open field. The vinescroll border utilizes the same coloration and design as the cornerpieces, imparting a remarkable design unity or consistency to the overall effect of the carpet.
Please note the original dimensions of this rug. Although supplied as modifiable, over stretching may distort the pattern. Also note that as a representation of a handmade product it may have less than perfect linage. This part of the beauty of such a rug.
