Chinese / 12617

A restrained allover floral field defines this Chinese wool rug, the ground showing a soft salmon tinge balanced by cream, muted red and pale blue accents. Stylised palmettes and scrolling arabesques create a measured, repeating composition; low, even wear and gentle abrash lend the surface a tactile, time-softened character. Narrow sage-lined borders punctuate the edge with small floral motifs, keeping focus on the field. This antique rug reads as a quietly aged textile with an elegant, subdued colourway at 353 x 523 cm. Circa 1900 - 1915. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
