Oversized Chinese Peking Rug in Pale Yellow with Lion Dogs & Cloud Wreaths Motif

About the Item

A truly beautiful and rare oversized Chinese Peking rug from the late 19th century, this piece features a serene and distinctive pale yellow field with a minimalist open design. At the center lies a striking large medallion, adorned with Fu lion dogs (Foo dogs)—symbols of protection and power—surrounded by elegant cloud wreath motifs, symbolizing peace and celestial harmony. This rug’s composition and style bear a strong resemblance to the revered Ningxia carpets, which originated in the historic Ningxia region—a “wool town” located in north-central China, bordering Gansu and Inner Mongolia. Ningxia rugs have a long history dating back to the 17th century, crafted for use in mandarin residences and aristocratic homes across imperial China. The combination of its open design, soft color palette, and cultural symbolism makes this rug a rare and valuable example of Chinese textile artistry from the Qing Dynasty period. Whether used as a statement floor piece or a wall-hung textile, this antique rug brings a sense of quiet elegance, historical richness, and timeless sophistication to any interior.
