About the Item

Antique circa 1880 Chinese Qing hand-knotted wool rug, 12'4" x 19'6" (148 x 234 in), in blue tones. Condition: good, repaired. Wear consistent with age and use. Overall Good Condition. Antique Chinese, Peking Chinese Blue 1880s Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional example of a late 19th-century weaving represents the pinnacle of Imperial Chinese artistry. As a significant piece among antique rugs, it showcases the refined aesthetic preferences of the Qing Dynasty court, utilizing traditional motifs rendered with remarkable clarity and sophistication. The palette is dominated by a brilliant, saturated shade of indigo, creating a dramatic backdrop for the delicate iconography. The skillful use of contrasting white, pale pink, and deep navy accents elevates the design, making this a superb example of blue color rugs from the period, where color saturation was often used to denote status and luxury. Characterized by an expansive, open field, the composition features a central, multi-layered medallion surrounded by scattered auspicious symbols, including stylized bats (symbolizing good fortune) and vases. Given its imposing scale, this piece functions as a monumental large oversized big rug, suitable for grand residential or institutional settings that require a commanding floor presence. The complexity of the design extends to the multi-banded border system, which frames the central field with layers of stylized florals and precise fretwork. The inclusion of the classic Greek key motif provides a strong geometric rugs counterpoint to the organic forms within the field, demonstrating a masterful balance between structure and symbolism.
