Some rugs are bold, and some are beautifully understated. This antique Peking rug is the latter, a quiet masterpiece woven with simplicity and grace. At 2’ x 3’10, it’s the perfect small accent, but its deep indigo field and soft camel border give it a presence that’s anything but small.
Minimal yet intentional, this piece features delicate floral sprays and a single butterfly symbolic of transformation and beauty in Chinese art. The contrast between the rich blues and the softened gold tones feels effortless, like a perfectly balanced painting.
In very nice condition after a century of life, this little hem has lovely, velvety wool and the antique patina only time can create. Whether placed in a cozy nook, layered for a collected look, or even hung on a wall as textile art, this one brings a sense of serenity wherever it lands.
Low pile. From the 1930s.
