This Chinese antique rug, measuring 274 x 523 cm, presents a lyrical floral tree composition across a saturated pink-red field. A teal border creates a clear frame, while branching stems and scattered blooms in yellow, green, ivory, and purple bring an airy rhythm to the design. The wool surface shows light wear and softened colour, lending the rug a calm, timeworn presence. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the poised decorative language of Chinese design, with a long, elegant format that allows the pattern to unfold with ease. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
