Chinese / 11107

This Chinese wool rug presents a warm brown ground punctuated by cream cloud-cartouches, each holding a central floral spray echoed in the ornate border. The colour range is restrained and refined, showing low distress and a soft, tactile pile that retains gentle modelling around the medallions. Minor central creasing and even wear speak to careful use and conservation. Circa 1920 - 1935. Size: 239 x 300 cm. As an antique rug, it illustrates an early 20th-century interplay between Western floral motifs and Chinese workshop sensibility, offering an elegant, material-forward presence.
