Chinese / 20113

This Chinese antique rug, 3' 11" x 6' 10", is rendered in wool with a spare, elegant composition that lets the open ivory field breathe. A deep navy border frames the center, while small floral sprays in black and soft blue punctuate the corners and edges with measured balance. The palette feels restrained and atmospheric, with gentle wear and fading that soften the contrast. Circa 1930 - 1950, it carries a quiet graphic presence and the nuanced surface one expects from a well-kept antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
