This Chinese antique rug, measuring 9' 0" x 11' 4", presents a refined open field composition framed by a deep red border. A blush ground is animated with delicate floral branches, auspicious cloud forms, and garden-inspired motifs that drift across the field with quiet rhythm. The wool surface shows a soft, luminous hand and visible age-related wear, which lends depth to the palette of pink, red, and neutral tones. Circa 1925 - 1940, it carries the calm elegance and faded richness often sought in an antique rug of this character.
