Beautiful Vintage Animal Motif Indian Cotton Rug 49257, Country of Origin / Rug Type: India, Circa Date: Late 20th Century – Presented in a minimalist fashion, this beautiful Indian rug relies on animal rug motifs as much as it does floral ones to set the scene. Reminiscent of ancient Chinese rugs, this beautiful piece utilizes only two colors to create a stark degree of contrast between the foreground and the background, which serves to illuminate the presence of both. A single thick border surrounds the landscape at the heart of the vintage rug, itself framed on two sides by thinner borders that house a striking collection of winding flowers and stems within. Roaring lions and rearing antelope are present throughout, found in both the center and the border of the Indian rug.
