Antique Chinese Peking (Beijing) Oriental Carpet, circa 1920 This supremely elegant Peking carpet exemplifies the design principle that less can be more. The ornamental details have been kept to a minimum. Fine vines and tiny flowers sprawl along the outer edges of a field that is otherwise occupied only by a small see-through medallion and a few floral sprays. The contrasting blue border is likewise largely open or empty. Such formal elegance and restraint are classically Chinese and regal, making this a carpet fit for a palace.
