Allover Geometric Chinese Ivory Beige Cream White Hand Knotted Pile Wool Antique 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This exquisite example of Chinese textile artistry features a highly unusual curvilinear shape, suggesting it was custom-woven for a specific architectural space, possibly a landing or niche. The primary field utilizes a soft, variegated ivory and beige palette, providing a luminous backdrop for the symbolic motifs. The central design employs an allover arrangement of stylized cloud bands (T-shaped and scrolling *lingzhi* motifs) rendered in deep indigo and slate blue. These traditional symbols float against the luminous ivory beige cream white ground, punctuated by accents of vibrant coral red, often associated with good fortune and longevity in East Asian iconography.
