Chinese / 19714

This Chinese antique rug, 2' 2" x 4' 0", presents a restrained cream field set against layered blue and teal ornament. The composition is organised around a central circular medallion, flanked by paired stylised vessel forms and small auspicious motifs that give the piece a quiet, ceremonial rhythm. A Greek key style inner border and dotted outer border frame the design with clarity. Woven in wool, it shows medium wear, with softened areas and visible age that deepen its character. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the poised geometry and symbolic language associated with historic Chinese rugs.
