Beautiful Antique Taupe Background Chinese Rug 49235, Country of Origin / Rug Type: China Rug, Circa Date: 1900 – True to the traditional style of many Chinese rugs, this masterpiece focuses on establishing a powerful degree of contrast through the use of two primary colors. A deep, luxurious blue and an elegant, sandy beige stand against each other to create a clear dichotomy between the foreground and the background. With the beige set as the backdrop for the antique Oriental rug, the rest of the foreground elements appear as though they were laid over the earthy tones, creating an almost textured appearance that rises to greet the viewer. A detailed and intricate blue border surrounds the field at the center of the antique rug, which contains several symmetrical vase and floral motifs.
