3 x 6 - Blue Antique Chinese Peking Rug - 73471

73471 Antique Chinese
Peking Accent Rug with Neoclassical Chinoiserie Style 3'00 X 5'09 From Esmaili
Rugs Collection. This hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug features
an open center medallion with a swirl of peonies and crabapple blossoms
floating in the center of an abrashed blue field. Crabapple blossoms and leafy
tendrils emanate from the corners of the field. Repeated flushes of apple
blossoms make up the principle border design along with peonies in the corners
of the border. In Chinese culture, peonies are seen to represent unparalleled
beauty, love and affection, and have long been regarded as a symbol of wealth
and honor. The word for crabapple, “haitang,” is a homonym for the word for
hall or family home. Crabapple blossoms often appear in combination with
peonies to suggest the phrase “mantang fugui,” which means, “May the whole
family achieve wealth and honor.” The restrained color palette based around
shades of blues, creams, and neutral accents, creates a sense of serenity and
elegance. With its classic formal design, well-harmonized color palette, and
graceful floral motifs, this antique Chinese Peking rug would be a refined, yet
comfortable, addition to any interior. Rendered in variegated shades of royal
blue, cerulean, cornflower blue, indigo, navy blue, ink blue, sand, almond,
