Chinese / 16774

This Chinese antique rug measures 366 x 602 cm, with a warm gold field accented by blue, neutral, teal, pink, and brown. Its open layout combines scattered floral sprays, symbolic motifs, and a richly worked central roundel, all held within a vivid key-pattern border and narrow floral bands. The low distress is visible in the softly worn ground, subtle rippling, and even age toning that enrich the surface. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the poised symmetry and decorative refinement often found in early Chinese weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
