Antique Chinese - Kansu Hallway Runner Wool Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving from the Kansu region of China exemplifies the sophisticated graphic traditions of the late Qing Dynasty. Its elongated format is perfectly suited for use as one of our refined hallway runner rugs. The palette is anchored by a luminous, softly aged ivory color field, which provides a serene contrast to the vibrant secondary hues. Deep indigo blue is used prominently for the stylized cloud bands and geometric Shou medallions, while terracotta orange and subtle yellow accents enrich the composition. The central field features a carefully balanced allover pattern of auspicious symbols, including Ruyi cloud forms and intricate longevity symbols.
