Chinese / 16664

This Chinese antique rug measures 157 x 236 cm and brings together a glowing golden centre with grey framing borders and delicately worked floral branches. Birds, blossoms, and hanging ornaments move across the field in navy, teal, purple, cream, and white, giving the piece a graceful, painterly rhythm. The low distress preserves the clarity of the design while the wool shows a gentle, settled patina. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the poised ornament and quiet warmth characteristic of a Chinese antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
