Chinese / 16783

This Chinese antique rug, measuring 1' 0" x 1' 0", presents a quiet circular composition in deep green, framed by a cream outer border and finished with a sparse botanical spray in blush, tan, and black. The field feels calm and enclosed, with the motif held close to the centre, allowing colour and negative space to do the work. Wool lends a soft, matte surface, while medium distress gives the piece a gently worn, tactile character. Circa 1940 - 1965, it carries the subtle irregularities and softened edges that give a small antique rug its presence.
