Antique Baotou Chinese Floral Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional example of baotou weaving, originating from the Inner Mongolia region, showcases the refined aesthetic characteristic of early 20th-century Chinese rugs. The composition is dominated by a serene landscape scene, rendered in a highly stylized, almost graphic manner. The palette is notably subdued, utilizing rich browns, taupes, and deep espresso tones against a creamy ivory ground. While the title suggests floral rugs, this specific piece features a classic Chinese nature scene, depicting stylized mountains, sparse trees, and several spotted deer, traditional symbols of longevity and prosperity, scattered across the central field.
