Beautiful Decorative Room Size Antique Oriental Chinese Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: China, Circa Date: 1900 – With a sparsely populated field and refined color palette dominated by hues of blue, this antique Chinese rug evokes a wonderful sense of serenity.

The diagonal lines that line the field of this antique room size rug, are created by a series of beautiful colored floral elements.  This field itself is perfectly framed by a narrow geometric running dog design guard border that lines the field. Beside this beautiful guard border, we see the main Chines blue colored vine scroll border. This main border is comprised by the floral and geometric emblem elements which add such a wonderful sense of balance to the overall artistic impact that this magnificent decorative room size antique Oriental Chinese rug provides.

Five repeating Oriental designed emblems float within a light and airy field.  These emblem feature five flowers. The outer four emblems give us a feel of a labyrinth starting point with the fifth, center emblem, acting as the center point of the fascinating maze like pattern. The mirrored symmetry arrangement of flowers within each emblem convey a calming sense of harmony and order.

The overall affect of the horizontal linear soft colored floral pattern, set against the happy sand color of the field, give this antique carpet an artistically contemporary modern feel. Without any hesitation, this transitional decorative room size antique Oriental Chinese rug can effortlessly work in a modern interior design setting just as easily at it can work within classic traditional decors.
