A deep blue Chinese wool rug, 373 x 528 cm, composed of nine stylised floral roundels and scattered botanical sprays around a restrained cream inner stripe and floral outer border. The wool pile carries a soft sheen and subtle abrash that lends the field tactile depth while preserving crisp motif definition. Colouration is dominated by blue with cream and white accents, complemented by restrained pink and gold highlights. Low, even wear and intact edges mark a careful age. This antique rug presents a calm, crafted presence. Circa 1900 - 1915
