Chinese / 15158

This Chinese antique rug measures 9' 10" x 21' 6" and presents a warm saffron field framed by a teal border and scrolling floral ornament. Lotus blooms, curling vines, and stylized birds give the composition a lively yet balanced rhythm, while the long, narrow format lends the design an elegant sense of movement. The wool pile shows low distress with soft age, muted colour shifts, and a grounded, tactile surface that suits its decorative character. Circa 1910 - 1925, it reflects the visual language of early 20th-century Chinese design with clarity and restraint.
