77211 Vintage Chinese Peking Indian Rug, 05'11 x 08'11. This hand-knotted wool vintage Chinese Peking Indian Chinoiserie rug is a masterful representation of East Asian artistry with an infusion of Indian craftsmanship. The rug showcases a harmonious blend of Chinoiserie motifs, capturing the essence of traditional Chinese aesthetics while retaining the vibrant and delicate nuances of Indian weaving. This elegant rug is adorned with intricate floral and botanical patterns, all set against a serene creamy-beige backdrop, giving it a balanced yet striking visual appeal.
The centerpiece of the Chinoiserie-style rug features a circular medallion encased in graceful floral sprays, while surrounding elements like stylized peonies, lotus blossoms, and vines create an air of tranquility and timeless beauty. Shades of rich blue, ranging from deep navy to cerulean, dominate the rug’s palette, adding depth and dimension to the design. The motifs are outlined in taupe and beige tones, enhancing the contrast between the detailed patterns and the smooth, cream-colored background, embodying the Chinoiserie style’s flair for intricate yet delicate designs.
A key feature of this rug is its border, which consists of interlocking floral scrolls and geometric shapes, including stylized clouds and fret patterns that are symbolic in Chinese culture, often representing harmony and eternity. The striking combination of these classic motifs within the border serves as a perfect frame to the central design, creating an aura of symmetry and fluidity throughout the composition. Additionally, the corner details boast floral medallions, enhancing the rug’s graceful aesthetic while maintaining its traditional roots.
This exquisite vintage Peking-style rug is more than just a decorative piece; it is a testament to the cultural exchange between Chinese and Indian artistry, crafted during a period where both traditions intersected to create timeless works. Its fine wool construction, soft underfoot texture, and superb craftsmanship make it not only a beautiful floor covering but also a historical conversation piece. Ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors, this vintage Chinoiserie rug is perfect for adding an air of sophistication, history, and global charm to any living space.
