A very finely woven Peking carpet distinguished by a light blue background decorated by a central medallion composed of joined lotus flowers, flanked by four smaller medallions and by a plethora of Chinese decorative motifs. The corner elements as well as the Greek-fret border are exquisitely drawn, indicating that it was woven in one of the best Peking workshops.
