Chinese / 19716

This Chinese antique rug, measuring 61 x 130 cm, is composed in a quiet palette of cream, neutral, white, blue and teal. The design centres on a compact medallion, with stylised floral ornament and stepped corner devices arranged within a geometric inner border. Around the perimeter, circular emblem motifs create a steady visual rhythm, while the wool surface lends a soft, tactile finish. Low distress is visible in the gently aged pile and slight edge character, both of which support the rug’s mellow atmosphere. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reads as an antique rug with clarity, restraint and decorative balance.
