A late 19th-century Chinese Ningxia rug from the 1880s, measuring approximately 177.8 × 304.8 cm (about 5’10” × 10’0″). The composition centers on a medallion design over an ivory field, framed by a Greek-key motif border — a traditional Chinese decorative vocabulary that has remained recognizable in Ningxia production for over a century.
Ningxia is a historic Chinese carpet-weaving center in north-central China.
