Antique Peking Carpet, China, early twentieth century - A small openwork medallion is complemented by four see-through vinescroll medallions on this suavely elegant antique Peking. The intervening ground is entirely filled by a fine mesh of tint flowers that function virtually as no more a textured brocade, approaching the effect of an open field. The vinescroll border utilizes the same coloration and design as the cornerpieces, imparting a remarkable design unity or consistency to the overall effect of the carpet.
