Gorgeous Antique Chinese Ningxia Floral Earth-Tone Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1900
Small cloud-like emblems drift across the warm rust-brown field, punctuated by pale lotus blossoms with vivid turquoise-blue centers. Their loose placement leaves breathing room between the motifs, giving the rug a calm, almost meditative quality. Narrow blue-green guard bands sharpen the composition, while the broad burnt-orange key-fret border and dark outer frame lend it an architectural finish. Related pieces can be found among our brown earth tone rugs and symbolic floral rugs.
The measured use of ornament reflects a Chinese approach in which open space contributes as much to the design as the woven imagery.
