AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale: a beautiful hand-knotted Chinese rug of 247 x 154 cm, executed in a deep rich color with a cream-colored wide border pattern. The rug has a rich, distinctive Art Deco-Chinese style with classical symbols and motifs: in the center a lovely medallion with a blue star motif, surrounded by cloud scrollwork, shuang xi happiness symbols and peonies. Scattered over the field are traditional Chinese attributes such as vases with lilies, pen holders, fans and other auspicious objects — a decorative program full of symbolism and refinement.
The border is composed of an alternation of geometric fretwork elements and lush flowering branches with peonies and cherry blossoms, which gives the whole an elegant and harmonious appearance. The pile is dense and soft, with a velvety surface that makes the colors glow nicely. The back shows a tightly woven structure that confirms the quality of the craftsmanship.
The rug is in neat used condition, appropriate for its age. The colors are still vibrant and the rug lies flat. A timeless, atmosphere-creating floor covering that fits any interior.
