The Antique Peking Chinese Allover Ivory 1880s Rug is an exceptional example of late 19th-century weaving from China. This hand-knotted wool rug features a refined ivory field that creates a striking contrast against deep indigo and cobalt blue motifs. The composition showcases a playful allover arrangement of mythical foo dogs, symbolizing protection and prosperity, alongside subtle cloud bands and geometric accents. Framed by a classic key-fret border and floral medallions, this rectangular room-sized rug offers a sophisticated sense of historic grandeur. Its open field and use of negative space highlight the stylized figures, making it a commanding centerpiece for any interior. With a 0.5-inch pile height, this authentic antique piece balances traditional Chinese iconography with a timeless aesthetic.
