Chinese / 12425

A compact Chinese wool rug rendered in a muted, striated field of dusty purple and cream. Geometric medallions run down the centre, linked by stepped chevrons and dotted accents that read like a simplified tribal register. The wool surface shows medium, even wear and a soft abrash that unifies the palette while revealing threadbare raisings and mellowed highlights. The tactile finish and restrained motifs give the piece a quietly modern temperament within an antique rug vocabulary. Circa 1970 - 1985. Dimensions: 2' 0" x 4' 0". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
