This Chinese antique rug, measuring 264 x 351 cm, is woven in wool with a deep navy ground and a graceful spread of floral vine motifs. The composition is open and understated, with blossoms and leaves appearing in cream, pale green, apricot, and soft pink across the field. Its gentle wear lends a softened finish and a subtle lustre, while the design remains clear and balanced. Circa 1900 - 1915, it offers the restrained elegance and layered colour contrast that give an antique rug its lasting appeal. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
