About the Item

Antique circa 1890 Chinese hand-knotted wool rug, 3'6" x 3'6" (42 x 42 in), in black tones. Condition: good. Antique Chinese, Peking Square Small Scatter Size Wool Black Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite square example of late 19th-century weaving represents the refined aesthetic of Chinese rugs. The composition is characterized by a single, striking circular motif set against a field of profound, saturated darkness, emphasizing the elegance of the negative space. The dramatic ground color, a rich, deep black, provides a powerful backdrop that allows the delicate palette of the design to flourish. This sophisticated use of contrast is typical of fine peking rugs from this period. The central medallion features stylized lotus blossoms and trailing wisteria rendered in soft blues, creams, and pale pinks, creating a stunning visual tension against the deep black color rugs. Woven entirely in wool, the rug exhibits a luxurious, dense pile typical of high-quality workshop production. Its designation as a square small scatter size piece makes it exceptionally versatile for placement in intimate spaces, such as an entryway, beside a chair, or as a sophisticated accent piece where a full-size carpet would overwhelm. Dating to the 1890s, this piece predates the major commercial expansion of the early 20th century, retaining the artistic integrity and nuanced color choices of earlier Imperial designs. It is a highly sought-after collectible among true antique rugs aficionados, offering both historical depth and unparalleled decorative impact.
