Chinese / 12391

A compact Chinese wool rug that reads like a painted panel: a central seated figure with attendants rendered in saturated tones against a deep black field, framed by stylised clouds and a subdued cream border bearing a vertical inscription. The wool shows soft hand and an even, low pile that preserves motif clarity and colour depth. This antique rug holds a quiet presence, tactile and immediate, the palette balancing neutral grounds with vivid polychrome accents. Circa 1920 - 1950. Size: 5' 0" x 3' 0". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
