Antique Chinese Ningxia Runner 49034, Country of Origin / Rug Type: China Rugs, Circa Date: 1880 – A marvel in detail and patterning, this antique Chinese runner rug is meant to unify all types of furnishings in a room. Through the use of varying shades of blue, the rug establishes detailing and depth. These colors stand out in striking contrast against the gold and black elements at the Ningxia runner’s core. The strong use of bordering creates powerful grounding and rigidness that implies order and royalty, and the presentation of tones elegantly lead the viewer’s eyes from the edge and corners of the antique rug to the center, where the majority of the action takes place.
