Chinese / 20120

This Chinese antique rug in wool measures 282 x 356 cm and carries a composed palette of pink, deep blue, cream, and muted blue-green notes. The open field is enlivened with scattered floral sprigs, stylised blossom forms, and small symbolic details, framed by borders that pair geometric order with scrolling floral ornament. Low distress and softened wear give the surface a mellow, settled feel, allowing the pattern to read with warmth rather than rigidity. Circa 1900 - 1920, it reflects the decorative balance and quiet intricacy often found in Chinese rugs, with an atmosphere shaped by age, colour, and gentle use.
