Antique Chinese Rug, Origin: China, Circa: 1930 – Drawn in a lush curvilinear style, this regal antique Chinese rug uses fluid botanical decorations to create formal compositional features. Dramatic floral borders with undulating contours create a splendid wave-like pattern that straddles the line between the softly colored field and the saturated outer borders while creating a strong counter change effect. Charming botanical spandrels frame the corners of the azure ground and complement the decorative contours of the rounded medallion. Flourishing bi-color leaflets, scrolling vines and beautifully outlined chrysanthemum blossoms are artfully intertwined to create a lush medallion that has the properties of a fluid arabesque. Powdery blue accents with neutral undertones outline the lush botanical decorations and highlight the dimensional leaflets, which have a fluid Eastern style that is glamorous and graceful yet decidedly calming.
