The Qianqing Gong is the largest of the three rear palaces, located at the northern end of the Forbidden City. During the Ming dynasty, it served as the emperors' sleeping quarters, but during the Qing dynasty, the emperors used it as an audience hall for meetings with the Grand Council, receiving foreign envoys, and holding banquets.
A smaller carpet from the same palace with a similar design was sold at Christie's New York, 3rd December 1991, lot 156. Another example from the same palace was sold in these rooms, 23rd March 2011, lot 655, and a larger one at our London rooms, 12th July 2006, lot 114. The present lot however, appears to be the largest.
