Chinese / 19727

This Chinese antique rug, measuring 5' 6" x 7' 3", presents a layered composition of medallion forms, lattice patterning, and calligraphic border accents. The palette moves between neutral beige, muted blue, cream, grey, teal, black, and soft orange, giving the surface a calm but graphic presence. Wear has gently softened the motifs and lightened the field, while abrasion adds depth to the wool. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the quiet balance and decorative restraint often sought in early Chinese weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
