Chinese / 12904

A compact Chinese wool piece rendered in a soft blue-green field, the round format punctuated by scattered leaf sprays in darker accents and neutral fringe. The pile shows a considered medium patina and gentle abrash that reads as quiet age rather than loss, a tactile surface held in the wool. This antique rug carries a restrained, almost painterly vocabulary where negative space and scattered motif create a serene centre. Circa 1940 - 1955. The rug’s scale, material, and worn surface speak to practical use and timeworn craft, a small object with a calm, cultivated presence. Measurements: 2' 0" x 2' 0".
