Antique Mongolian Chinese Rug 2919

Chinese Rug, China, Early 20th Century - A symphony of color unfolds itself in thin, irregular pinstripes evocative of sound waves or ripples in desert sand. Blues reds, grays, browns, and rose tones, constantly alternate with varying shades of tan to produce a design that is mercurial and dynamic while also remaining cool and discreet. A simple black band serves a s a border, framing and limiting the chromatic effusion of the field. Though of traditional Chinese and Tibetan origin, this design and its impression are strikingly modern and current.
