Chinese / 11396

A Chinese wool landscape rug composed in muted browns, cream and a deep blue border; the field arranges stepped hills, terraces and a winding river with boats, a bridge and a small pavilion. The teal border presents stylised floral and key-fret motifs that balance the pictorial centre. Low wear and a soft, dense pile retain tactile depth and subtle abrash across the field. This 206 x 122 cm antique rug reads as a crafted study in colour, texture and restraint. Circa 1920 - 1935. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
