About the Item

Antique circa 1880 Chinese Qing hand-knotted wool rug, 9' x 11'8" (108 x 140 in), in blue tones. Condition: good, repaired. Chinese, Peking 1880s Room Size Knotted Rectangle Wool Blue Antique Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exquisite Peking carpet exemplifies the refined aesthetic of late Qing Dynasty weaving. The field is dominated by a rich, variegated indigo and navy, providing a dramatic backdrop for the delicate design elements. The sophisticated use of color makes this a prime example among blue color rugs. The central medallion is rendered in soft powder blue and pale blush tones, featuring highly stylized blossoms arranged in a symmetrical, radiating pattern. The main field texture is achieved through a fine geometric lattice overlaying the deep blue, from which scattered, lighter blossoms emerge. This controlled use of negative space and detailed patterning is characteristic of the finest floral rugs produced during this era. A complex border system frames the composition, featuring multiple guard bands and a broad main border dense with scrolling vines and large, stylized flowers set against a dark, contrasting ground. Given its generous dimensions, this piece functions perfectly as one of our premier room size rugs, anchoring a formal living space or dining room with historical gravitas. Woven entirely of high-quality wool, this textile retains remarkable clarity and pile depth considering its age. The restrained palette and elegant execution ensure it remains a highly desirable piece for collectors seeking authentic antique rugs from the Chinese tradition, offering both historical context and enduring decorative appeal.
