This Chinese antique rug measures 91 x 173 cm and presents a nuanced palette of navy, faded coral, blue, ivory, grey, and cream. A deep outer border encloses a layered field of scrolling floral motifs, cloud forms, and a subdued central medallion, creating a composition that feels ordered yet softened by age. The colour contrast remains vivid in places, then gently washes out across the surface, revealing medium distress and a tactile, timeworn character. Circa 1925 - 1945, it reflects the quiet depth and decorative restraint often sought in an antique rug.
