Chinese / 20120

This Chinese antique rug in wool measures 9' 3" x 11' 8" and presents a lively yet settled palette of pink, deep blue, cream, and softened olive tones. An open field is filled with small floral sprays, stylised blossoms, and delicate auspicious details, all held by layered borders that alternate floral tracery with geometric restraint. The surface shows low distress and an appealingly worn softness, giving the design a quiet depth. Circa 1925 - 1945, it carries the balance and decorative clarity that make Chinese rugs so enduring, while retaining a gentle, lived-in character throughout.
