A Refined Antique Chinese Rug
This elegant antique Chinese rug dates to the early 20th century and reflects the distinctive aesthetic of traditional Chinese weaving—where balance, symbolism, and restraint take precedence. Known for their serene presence and harmonious compositions, antique Chinese rugs offer a refined alternative to more densely patterned Persian designs.
Graceful Design & Harmonious Color
The composition centers around a traditional medallion, surrounded by delicately rendered floral motifs and framed by a wide border enriched with symbolic elements. The palette of rich blue and golden beige is softly nuanced by natural vegetable dyes, creating subtle tonal variations that enhance the rug’s depth and antique character.
