Chinese / 20113

This Chinese antique rug, 119 x 208 cm, is woven in wool with a calm, pared-back layout that gives the pale centre real openness. A dark navy field forms the border, while delicate floral sprays in black and muted blue appear at the corners and along the edges, creating a composed, almost floating rhythm. The colour palette is subdued and tactile, with medium wear and softened fading that mellow the contrasts. Circa 1900 - 1915, it has the understated clarity and aged character of a considered antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
