Antique Peking Carpet, China, early twentieth century The true mastery of Chinese rugs, such as this one, can only really be experienced in rugs that pre-date the 1910's. The beautiful birds of paradise, open design and the sprinkled flowers set on a royal blue background and surrounded by the light colored border gives the onlooker a feeling of calm and tranquility. So lifelike, it is as if with one step one is instantaneously transported to a beautiful and carefree garden where all the worries of the world simply disappear.
