A monumental early 20th-century North Chinese Mongolian carpet from around 1900, measuring approximately 487.9 × 518.4 cm (about 16’0″ × 17’0″). The composition pairs a dusty-rose field with a camel-toned border in a near-square format suited to grand-format formal rooms.
Mongolian-influenced carpet weaving in northern China combined Chinese decorative vocabularies with the pastoral-felt textile traditions of the broader Inner Asian steppe; pieces of this scale and date are particularly rare.
Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
