Dimensions: 8'2" x 9'7" (249 cm x 292 cm).
Circa: 1920.
This antique Chinese rug, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind carpet distinguished by its luminous rose field, deep indigo border, and delicately drawn floral sprays arranged with refined symmetry. Its open composition, softly aged palette, and hand-knotted character give it the elegant restraint and decorative versatility prized in early 20th-century Chinese rugs. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Faded warm tones of rose, indigo, magenta, plum, lavender, gold, and navy, with a rose field.
Chinese rugs represent a weaving tradition distinct from all others in the Oriental rug world. Drawing on Chinese artistic traditions — Buddhism, Taoism, imperial symbolism — rather than Persian or Central Asian models, they feature motifs such as dragons, phoenixes, cloud bands, bats (symbols of good fortune), peony blossoms, and medallion compositions derived from architectural ceilings.
Antique Chinese rugs from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are often woven on a thick, lustrous pile with a sculptural carved effect around principal motifs. Their palette tends toward soft gold, blue, ivory, and terracotta. Early twentieth-century Art Deco Chinese rugs, produced for Western markets, are among the most celebrated designs of that era.
