Chinese Carpets — Small Purple Color Antique Oriental Chinese Carpet #1631, early twentieth century – This elegant and highly unusual Peking derives from the repertoire of Chinese textiles rather than rugs. The repeating staggered medallions with their undulating contours along with the sinuous vine scrolls of the field and the border clearly reflect woven silk prototypes, as does the essentially two-tone palette. Indeed, the luminous quality of the lustrous pile still appears quite silk-like as well.
