Antique Chinese Coral Ningxia Allover Medallion Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1750s. This exceptional piece represents the height of 18th-century weaving, a rare surviving example among antique rugs. Its remarkable preservation and sophisticated design confirm its status as a highly collectible textile from the Qianlong period. The central field is dominated by a warm, luminous coral hue—a sophisticated variation within the earth tone color rugs spectrum. This ground color provides a striking contrast to the repeating circular medallions and scattered auspicious symbols rendered in pale yellow, ivory, and deep indigo. The construction and characteristic palette are indicative of ningxia rugs produced for the Northern Chinese aristocracy. The composition is framed by a series of meticulously rendered borders.
