Chinese / 12938

This Chinese antique rug, 152 x 239 cm, is composed with a spare bamboo motif set against a warm neutral ground. Delicate stems in muted gold and leaf forms in soft green and grey-green create a layered, natural cadence, while the open field preserves a sense of calm and air. The rounded-oval shape gives the design a gentle, framed presence, and the medium distress is visible in the softened pile and subtle age variation. Circa 1915 - 1930, it reflects the refined botanical language often associated with Chinese rugs, with an understated character that feels collected rather than ornate.
