Vintage Chinese Peking, Origin: China, Circa: Early 20th Century – Here is an exciting and appealing antique Oriental carpet – an antique Peking rug that was designed and woven in China during the early years of the twentieth century. Heavily informed by the aesthetic inclinations of the Peking period, this unique carpet is a compelling and thought-provoking example. A scalloped ivory encloses a blue/ sand field on this exquisitely subtle and restrained antique Chinese Peking. At first the field appears empty or open, but it is actually covered by a tone-on-tone design of scrolls and emanating inward from the outer edges. In their sinuous rhythms they echo the scalloped forms of the border and continue its visual effects across the carpet in a more subdued manner. This carpet testifies to the masterful design sensibilities of Chinese weavers as they made the transition into the modern world. The peking movement had an outside influence on the world of art and design, and some of the most important qualities and characteristics of that movement may be found in this fine small rug.

• Style & color: Pick a rug that complements your furniture. Neutral rugs work well for bold furniture, while colorful rugs add vibrancy to neutral rooms.
• Material: For high-traffic areas, choose durable materials like wool or synthetic fibers.
