Chinese / 12938

This Chinese antique rug, 5' 0" x 7' 10", presents a quiet bamboo composition across a softly worn cream field. Slender gold stems and pale green leaves rise in loose clusters, leaving generous open space that lends the piece its calm, painterly rhythm. The rounded-oval outline softens the silhouette further, while the medium distress reads as even age and lived-in texture rather than heavy loss. Circa 1915 - 1930, it carries the pared-back elegance and botanical restraint that make Chinese rugs so enduring in the decorative arts. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
