Antique Chinese Ningsia Rug, China, Country of Origin: Cina, Circa Date: Early 19th Century – This unmistakably magnificent antique Chinese Ningsia rug tells a symbolic story with birds, animals and auspicious figures.

Golden-yellow lotus blossoms superimposed over T-shaped fretwork borders give the traditional pattern a uniquely modern appearance. This elegant antique Chinese Ningsia rug embodies the essence of Chinese design by incorporating auspicious motifs, sophisticated com-positional elements and stylized figures that work together wonderfully.
