Antique Chinese Medallion Rug, Origin: China, Circa: Turn of the Twentieth Century – Here is an antique and beautifully composed Oriental area rug – an antique Chinese rug with a central rug medallion design that was woven in China around the turn of the twentieth century. Classically composed, this comely antique rug features many of the qualities and characteristics of antique Chinese area rugs and carpets that are considered most desirable by collectors. The pallet, for instance, is quintessentially Chinese; the blue and ivory coloration of this rug is among the more popular appearing in turn of the century Chinese carpets. Further, the primary border features an important and traditional Chinese pattern as do the narrower inner borders. The field is likewise rich with traditional Chinese design elements, from the small floral details – some of which feature a lovely coral color that breaks up the otherwise completely blue and ivory pallet – to the central medallion itself, which emanates a powerful energy that traces throughout the entirety of the rug. A classically designed antique Oriental rug, this antique carpet from China is a comely and intriguing example.
