Chinese / 11203

A poised Chinese wool rug with a repeated lozenge lattice in deep red, relieved by cream and light blue floral accents. The design is anchored by a Greek-key inner band and a broad cloud-scroll outer border in navy and neutral tones. Low wear and subtle abrash give the surface a soft, tactile patina while the wool fibre retains a gentle sheen. The overall effect is one of considered repetition softened by age, an antique rug that reads as both formal and quietly worn. Circa 1900 - 1915. Measurements: 170 x 244 cm.
