Antique Chinese Flat Weave Red Hallway Runner Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional piece offers a rare glimpse into late 19th-century Chinese rugs production, specifically focusing on highly decorative, narrative textiles. Its long and narrow dimensions make it a perfect choice for those seeking unique hallway runner rugs. The field is dominated by a rich, saturated ground color, best described as a deep red color, which provides a dramatic backdrop for the figurative scene. The execution relies on superb, detailed embroidery, showcasing elaborate textile work depicting a procession of figures, perhaps immortals or characters from classical Chinese opera, rendered in silk and metallic threads.
