Chinese / 20899

This Chinese antique rug, measuring 2' 11" x 21' 3", presents a long, restrained composition in deep blue with cream borders and small floral details set along the edges and centre. The narrow format heightens the linear rhythm, while the field remains calm and architectural. Woven in wool, it carries the quiet softness and mellow surface associated with age, with low distress and light wear that read as graceful rather than disruptive. Circa 1900 - 1920, it balances spare elegance with decorative refinement, offering a composed example of the Chinese rug tradition.
