AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ancient Chinese rug, Art Deco or Imperial style, featuring floral motifs typical of Oriental tradition.
Type and Origin
This is a Chinese hand-knotted rug, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (or a similar vintage), originating from regions such as Beijing (Peking) or Ningxia. The style recalls Chinese Art Deco rugs, with Ming/Qing imperial influences, characterized by elaborate borders and an open central field.
Main Features
Colors: deep turquoise-blue field (typical 'Chinese sapphire blue'), beige/cream edges with gold motifs; harmonious palette with blue, green, beige and floral accents.
Motifs: peonies (symbol of prosperity), lotus (rebirth), stylized clouds and central circular medallions; borders with geometric Greek-key motifs and floral scrolls, symmetric and asymmetric for a luxurious effect.
Materials and Techniques: Likely wool on cotton (or partial silk), tight and precise knotting; dimensions 185 x 124 cm, with natural fringes and vintage condition with authentic wear (frayed edges, dust).
Condition: Good for age, with batteries intact but with signs of use (creases, dirt),
