Very Large circa 1890 Peking Carpet.
8.00 x 4.00 m.
Chinese carpets and textiles have a rich history of weaving, dating back many centuries, particularly in the northern region of Ningxia. As these pieces began to catch the eye of the US and European markets, around the turn of the 20th Century, the weaving centers moved to the capital, then known as Peking, which enabled the creation of finer, grand-scale pieces. The designs became simpler, and more asymmetrical, tending more toward modern Western furnishing tastes.
This grand-scale early example features a dragon motif in cornflower blue, over an open field, with a charming ton-sur-ton effect in the design, working in tones of champagne and muted hazelnut, and well framed by a wide, decorative border.
Retained in very good condition for everyday use, with a charming, age-related patina.
A truly impressive carpet, rare in this large format, to suit a stylish interior.
