This Chinese antique rug, 122 x 173 cm, brings together a deep navy centre, a warm neutral border, and branching floral details in cream, white, and muted blue. The design feels restrained and expressive at once, with a tree-like motif spreading through the field and fine vine ornament tracing the edge. Medium distress shows in softened colour, visible wear, and gentle tonal variation across the surface, lending the piece a settled, tactile presence. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reads as an antique rug shaped by age, light, and use. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
