About the Item

19th Century Chinese Peking Dragon Carpet ( 12' x 15'6" - 365 x 472 ) Antique Wool Hand Knotted Pile Ivory Beige Cream White 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional Chinese Peking rug from the late Qing Dynasty presents a striking contrast between its luminous field and the dramatic, dark blue motifs. The background color palette, featuring subtle variations of ivory beige cream white color rugs, provides a perfect canvas for the intricate imperial iconography that defines this monumental piece. The design is dominated by five powerful, scaly imperial dragons, traditional symbols of power, fortune, and the Emperor himself. The central dragon is depicted in a dynamic, coiled posture, surrounded by four others positioned symmetrically across the field. These figures are rendered in deep indigo and black, highlighted by subtle accents of ochre, and interspersed with stylized Ruyi cloud forms and flaming pearls. Characteristic of the finest Chinese weaving traditions, the composition is framed by a broad, complex border featuring a highly geometric Greek key or fretwork pattern. The hand-knotted wool pile and precise execution confirm its status as a significant example of 19th-century Chinese textile art. We specialize in sourcing only the most historically important antique rugs for our discerning clientele. Given its substantial dimensions, this piece is ideally suited to anchoring a grand reception room or formal dining area. The rarity of such well-preserved, highly symbolic Peking designs makes this a collector's item of the highest order, offering both historical depth and sophisticated aesthetic appeal.
