Chinese / 12400

This Chinese wool rug reads as a quiet study in colour and restraint. A saturated purple field holds delicate flowering vines and small corner bouquets, set inside a narrow pale inner border and a neutral outer ground. The weave shows even abrash and surface wear that soften the pattern into a lived, tactile surface. The palette of purple, cream and white remains clear despite medium distress, lending the piece a patinated, design-forward character. This compact antique rug measures 2' 0" x 3' 0" and carries an understated elegance that feels both intimate and modern. Circa 1900 - 1915.
