Chinese / 16783

This Chinese antique rug, measuring 30 x 30 cm, offers a restrained circular format in deep green, edged by a cream border and animated by a delicate botanical spray in blush, tan, and black. The composition is pared back and balanced, with the motif gathered towards the centre, creating an understated sense of rhythm and calm. Wool gives the surface a soft, velvety feel, while medium distress brings visible age and a mellow, timeworn texture. Circa 1920 - 1935, this antique rug shows the faded nuance and irregular edge character that speak to long use and careful survival.
