This exquisite antique Chinese rug features a charming repeating pattern of bright polychromatic floral motifs that are surrounded by traditional fretwork borders.

Antique Chinese Rug, China, Early 20th Century – Superbly composed, this magnificent antique Chinese rug showcases a delightful pattern of repeating florets that are set over a regal, well-proportioned background. The saturated ultramarine blue field features stunning cool tones that offset the bright warm colors included in the dainty floral motifs. Ornate fretwork guard bands decorated with endless pinyin wan motifs link the transition between the lavish field and the traditional borders. Monochromatic Prussian blue outer borders and deep marine blue main borders adorned with crimson fretwork motifs create a grounded frame that elegantly balances the intricate floral emblems that decorate the field. This stunning antique Chinese rug has an elegant minimalist composition with restrained repeating patterns that are depicted in a sophisticated Eastern style.
