Pekin China Set - Carpet - 157 cm - 96 cm

Set of 4 Beijing rugs – 100% handmade – 1950s–1960s We present a precious and unusual set of four Beijing Chinese rugs, made approximately between 1950 and 1960. They are 100% handmade, woven in pure wool on a cotton backing, with the characteristic Beijing design of floral and ornamental motifs in elegant cream, terracotta and blue-grey tones. The set consists of: * 1 large rug: 158 × 90 cm * 2 identical rugs: 132 × 60 cm each * 1 small rug: 97 × 60 cm Due to their different sizes, they form a very decorative and versatile ensemble, ideal as bedside carpets on either side and at the foot of the bed, in front of a fireplace, in an entryway, or distributed across different areas of the same room. For their approximately 65–75 years of age, they are in very good overall condition. They do not show significant tears nor substantial wear of the pile. Only some wear and a few fringes cut or shorter are noticeable, normal given their age and clearly visible in the photographs. Only a light professional cleaning is recommended to remove the dust accumulated during storage and refresh the rugs. A beautiful and hard-to-find original set of four Beijing rugs from the period, kept together for decades and especially appealing for classic or vintage decor. All our pieces include an individual certificate of authenticity with detailed information about origin, age, materials and measurements.
