77410 Antique Chinese Peking Pictorial Rug with Romantic Chinoiserie Style 09'02 x 11'10. This hand-knotted wool antique Chinese Peking rug features a gorgeous pictorial plum tree design set against an abrashed field. The plum tree is depicted in peak bloom with an abundance of small multi-colored blossoms elegantly dotting its gnarled branches, while a scattering of graceful butterflies flutter about. Plum blossoms are amongst the most treasured of Chinese symbols; they are seen to represent fortitude and resilience, since the long-lived tree blooms brightly during the cold of winter. Butterflies are thought to represent joy, while a pair, such as the one directly above the tree, represents a wish for longevity. Framing the composition, an ensemble of chrysanthemums, lotuses, and peonies meander across the main border, while a simple pearl dot and blossom inner border adds balance to the overall design. The sumptuous color palette of dusty peach and rosy neutrals with vibrant blues and soft pastel accents gives the piece a sophisticated, romantic feel. With its depth of meaning, fine attention to detail, and glorious composition, this stunning antique Chinese Art Deco rug would be a showstopper in nearly any interior. Rendered in variegated shades of desert sand, tan, glaucous, camel, sky blue, ecru, navy blue, caramel, peanut butter, chamois, lavender, apricot, dusty rose, peach, salmon, vermilion, terra cotta, and cerulean with other accent colors.
