Chinese / 16769

This Chinese antique rug measures 4' 0" x 4' 0", with a round format that feels quietly graphic and composed. A deep navy border frames a taupe ground scattered with bamboo-like sprays in blue, cream, sage, and muted rose, creating an airy field of repeated movement. The design reads with restraint rather than density, allowing the worn surface and softened contrast to shape its character. Circa 1920 - 1940, it carries the patina of age without losing the clarity of its motif, a study in tonal balance and gentle irregularity.
