Antique Chinese Rug, Circa 1900 — This lavish antique Chinese rug showcases a stunning variety of botanical design elements. Its focal point is the bold medallion surrounded by a field of curling naturalistic patterns, from which six chrysanthemums radiate, symbolizing longevity. The composition suggests an Art Deco influence upon traditional Taoist and Buddhist motifs. The interior guard border echoes these elaborately looping patterns, adding royal blue flowers positioned at equidistant points. A secondary border features repeating symbols in shades of royal blue and white. Dragon-like figures undulate along the main border, flanking blue and white sun-like shapes, as well as complementing the rug’s radiant golden background. A dark exterior trim unites the strong, crisp lines of this captivating Chinese rug.
