Chinese / 15118

This Chinese antique rug in wool measures 361 x 584 cm and offers a richly layered floral field set against a plum ground. Sprigs, blossoms, and delicate branching forms unfold across the centre, while a floral border in green, cream, and yellow neatly frames the composition. The palette balances magenta depth with sage, teal, blush, and muted blue, giving the rug a soft, elegant rhythm. Low distress and gentle wear leave the design legible, with a subtle timeworn character. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the composed ornament and painterly balance associated with Chinese rug design.
