#7700 Antique Peking Chinese Rug 10’0″ X 16’0″

Description This circa 1890 Peking Chinese antique Oriental Rug measures 10’0” x 16’0” (305 x 487 cm). Miles of blue! This rug has an indigo field containing a circular central medallion in rusty brown with a table with floral decorations, a flower pot containing a flowering tree and a pot of tea. It is simple but elegant. “How Chinese.” The very simple design consists of Buddhist iconographies sa the brush pot with brushes, the scroll, and the beribboned book. The corners are each worked in a tall vase on a table containing a floral motif and a short vase on a table with floral motifs. The entire rug is encompassed with a major border in rust with meandering flowers and vines and floral motifs. The minor border in camel hair contains half rondels in rust, blue and ivory filled with floral designs. The entire rug is enclosed with a four inch wide border in the same color as the field. The rug is essentially full pile with slight oxidation in the brown. In this type of rug, if the brown is not oxidized it is not old. The rug is made with the finest wool that money could buy at the time. It is unbelievably soft and luxurious. The ends and sides are complete. It is clean and ready to go. The buyer pays the shipping including insurance of $450.00.

Planting & Care – 3-in-1 Combination Peach Tree

Site Selection

Choose a location with excellent sunlight to ensure full sweetness and color.
Good airflow reduces fungal pressure, especially in humid or coastal climates.

Soil Preparation

Prefers well-drained loam or sandy loam; avoid clay-heavy or waterlogged soil.
Add compost to improve drainage and fertility.
Ideal soil pH: 6.0–7.0.

Planting Instructions

Plant at the same depth as in the nursery pot.
Water deeply and mulch with 2–3 inches of organic matter.
Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk.

Watering & Fertilizing

Maintain consistent moisture during the first 1–2 years.
Deep water 1–2 times per week in heat or drought.
Peaches are medium feeders—use a balanced organic fertilizer in early spring if growth appears weak.
Avoid overfertilization, which reduces fruit quality and increases disease risk.

Pruning & Graft Management

Prune more vigorously growing grafts to maintain balance across the tree.
Encourage an open center to improve light penetration.
Thin fruit clusters to improve size and prevent limb damage.

Harvest & Use

Frost offers classic peach flavor with strong leaf curl resistance.
Salish Summer (Q-1-8) produces juicy, richly flavored fruit well-suited to cooler climates.
Indian Free provides brilliant red flesh and outstanding complexity.
Muir delivers exceptionally sweet, aromatic fruit.

General Tips

Combination peach trees thrive when graft vigor is balanced yearly through pruning.
Renew mulch annually and water consistently for best fruit quality.
Leaf curl–resistant varieties reduce the need for sprays in many climates.
