This Chinese antique rug in wool presents a dark, grounded field animated by a finely worked floral border and a central circular medallion. Blossoms in blue, pink, yellow, and soft neutral notes trace the oval shape, while stylised bird motifs add movement to the centre. The pile shows gentle wear, with scattered light abrasion and subtle fading that soften the contrast and enhance its character. Measuring 274 x 358 cm, it reads with quiet depth and decorative precision. Circa 1900 - 1915. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
