This Chinese antique rug, 262 x 351 cm, presents a rich crimson field set within a saturated green border, animated by floral sprays, curling stems, and small blossoms that drift across the corners and margins. The layout is spacious and elegant, with a narrow pale inner border giving the composition definition. Wool gives the surface a soft, tactile finish, and the low distress preserves the clarity of the design while allowing gentle wear to show through. Circa 1920 - 1935, it carries a vivid, composed character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
