Antique Chinese Peking blue carpet, Hand-knotted

Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
In the quiet hush of a dimly lit room, there lies a treasure from another time – an antique Chinese Peking carpet, a testament to craftsmanship and artistry that transcends the ages. Dating back to the turn of the 1900 , this exquisite piece transports you to a world where every knot is a whisper from the past.

Its palette, an enchanting dance of light blues and deep blues, draws you in like a serene ocean under a moonlit night. The field, uncluttered and vast, is a canvas for a central tableau that steals your breath away. Here, a flowering tree stands proud, its branches heavy with blossoms, a symbol of life in full bloom. Beside it, a pagoda rises like a sentinel, a guardian of secrets lost to time. But it's the camel that truly captures the heart, a symbol of fortune and prosperity in the tapestry of Chinese mythology. Its presence promises blessings and good tidings to all who gaze upon it. Each thread, each painstakingly hand-knotted fiber of wool, tells a story of dedication and patience. The weavers of old poured their souls into this masterpiece, creating not just a carpet but a work of art that has transcended generations.

As your eyes travel to the sides, a delicate frame in natural beige gracefully encloses the masterpiece. It's as if the carpet is a treasure, lovingly preserved through the ages. The outer border, a rich shade of ramege blue, adds a touch of regal elegance. But it's the intense blue border, adorned with symbols of happiness and good omen, that wraps this creation in a cloak of positivity and prosperity.

This Beijing carpet, in its elegant understatement, exudes a sense of calm and balance. Its untrimmed field, like an open horizon, offers a tranquil space for reflection and contemplation. It's not just a carpet; it's a window to a world steeped in tradition, a testament to the enduring beauty of Chinese craftsmanship.
As you stand before this masterpiece, you can't help but feel a connection to the artisans of yesteryears, to the myths and legends that inspired them. In this carpet, time stands still, and you are transported to a place where art, culture, and symbolism intertwine in perfect harmony – a place where the past and present converge in a tapestry of emotions and history.
