Antique Chinese - Ningxia Chinese Ivory 1750s Rug, Circa Date: 1750s. This exceptional example of Qing Dynasty weaving hails from the Ningxia region, renowned for its sophisticated, restrained aesthetic and masterful use of open space. The piece presents a rare and highly sought-after palette, dominated by a luminous field that immediately draws the eye. We are proud to include this museum-quality textile in our collection of antique rugs. The main field is rendered in a soft, aged ivory color, which has mellowed beautifully over nearly three centuries, acquiring a subtle patina of age. Scattered across this expansive space are small, abstract blue motifs—perhaps stylized cloud bands or simplified symbols—that float delicately without forming a restrictive central medallion.
