Antique Chinese - Ningxia Square Room Size Wool Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1800s. This exceptional example of early 19th-century weaving presents the distinctive aesthetic of ningxia rugs, characterized by its restrained palette and open field design. The generous dimensions and rare square format classify it among the most desirable room size rugs suitable for grand interiors. The square composition relies on a striking contrast between the luminous camel-hued ground and the deep indigo and lighter cerulean blues used for the decoration. The field is anchored by a central circular medallion featuring stylized blossoms and branches. Surrounding this centerpiece are symmetrically dispersed floral rugs motifs, carefully placed to maintain the field's expansive feel.
