Chinese / 12380

A compact Chinese wool rug with a softly striated field of pink and neutral threads punctuated by five floral medallions in neutral cartouches. Measuring 61 x 122 cm, the rug shows medium wear with softened surface and visible abrash, while red accents provide restrained punctuation to the muted palette. This antique rug pairs simplified botanical motifs with horizontal painterly striping, its worn edges and colour variation speaking to age and use. Circa 1950 - 1970. The piece reads as a tactile object of craft where time has deepened colour and surface nuance.
