    This rug comes from Beijing, historically known as Peking, where rug weaving developed in the imperial workshops of the Qing Dynasty and produced a style that became one of the most recognisable in the world. Peking rugs were made for the court and, later, for export to the West, and their design reflects both of those purposes: ordered, refined and quietly authoritative.

    The defining quality of a Peking rug is restraint. The palette is intentionally limited, often two dominant tones, with the design using open space as deliberately as it uses pattern. Central medallions, lotus flowers, cloud scrolls, dragons and the circular Shou character appear across the field, each carrying symbolic meaning rooted in Chinese philosophy. The borders are clean frames rather than competing elements. The pile is hand-knotted wool on a cotton foundation, dense and soft, with a clarity of surface that keeps the design sharp.

    As a antique piece, the colours have already settled and the pile has developed the kind of quiet depth that only age produces.

    Hand-spun wool pile on a cotton foundation, made entirely from natural fibres.
    Hand-knotted.

    Antique. A historic piece that has been carefully preserved, professionally cleaned and restored where required.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Will the rug look the same in person as it does online?

    We photograph every rug in natural light with minimal editing, so the colours you see are as true to life as possible. It’s something we take a lot of care with, and something our customers often comment on.

    That said, colours can shift slightly depending on your screen or the lighting in your home. If you’d like extra photos or a video before purchasing, we’re always happy to help.

    How long does delivery usually take?

    Delivery times depend on your location.

    For most Australian orders, delivery is quite quick. NSW and VIC typically arrive within 1–2 business days, the ACT within 2–3 business days, QLD and TAS within 2–4 business days, and WA and the NT within 3–6 business days.

    Most international deliveries arrive within 1–4 weeks.

    You can find more detailed timeframes on our Shipping & Delivery page: Shipping & Delivery.

    Can I see this rug in person before I decide?

    Of course. You’re very welcome to visit our Rowville warehouse to view rugs in person.

    If there’s a particular piece you’d like to see, just let us know in advance and we’ll have it ready for you.

    All visits are by appointment, but we’re very flexible with timing and happy to work around what suits you best. Feel free to give us a call or message us anytime and we’ll find a time that works.

    What if the rug isn't quite right?

    We want you to feel completely confident in your purchase. If something doesn’t feel right once you’ve seen it in your space, we’re here to help.

    We accept returns or exchanges on full-priced items, meaning pieces that are not part of our clearance collection.

    Returns must be initiated within 4 days of receiving your order, or within 4 days of purchase if bought in person.

    As each rug is handmade and one of a kind, we keep this window short so that any returned piece can be offered again in the same condition.

    Rugs must be returned in the same condition they were received.

    For full details, please see our Returns & Exchanges page: Returns & Exchanges.
