1890s Antique Allover Floral Rectangle Hand Knotted Pile Ivory Beige Cream White Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving represents the refined aesthetics of Chinese and Mongolian textile art, characterized by a highly structured design. Such pieces are highly sought after among collectors of antique rugs. The palette is deliberately restrained, utilizing a soft, luminous field of ivory beige cream white wool contrasted sharply by motifs rendered in a rich indigo blue. The central field employs a repeating, geometric arrangement of stylized butterflies and floral clusters, offering visual rhythm without overwhelming the space. A complex series of borders frames the central composition, featuring classical Chinese motifs such as the Shou symbol for longevity and traditional key-fret patterns.
