Antique Chinese Coral Small Scatter Size Wool Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1930s. This exceptional piece, woven in the 1930s, exemplifies the refined aesthetic of Chinese rugs from the Republican era. Its highly unusual, elongated form suggests a specialized function, perhaps as a saddle cover or an altar runner, distinguishing it from standard rectangular formats. The central reserve is dominated by a tightly rendered allover pattern composed of a diamond lattice set against a soft, camel-toned ground. Within each diamond, a stylized indigo cross or quatrefoil motif repeats, creating a sense of structured movement and visual depth characteristic of early 20th-century geometric designs. Framed by a series of concentric borders, the field is sharply contrasted by the rich, saturated indigo blue of the guard bands and the outer border.
