Antique Chinese Small Saddle Rug Horse Cover Wool Blue Navy, Ivory Carpet, Circa Date: 1920s. This compelling textile exemplifies the transitional design period of early 20th-century China. Its unusual dimensions classify it as a small scatter size, perfect for adding a concentrated burst of color and history to a hallway or intimate space. The palette is dominated by deep indigo and rich navy tones, providing a striking contrast against the warm, creamy ivory ground. The traditional use of blue color rugs in Chinese weaving often symbolizes tranquility and high status, a tradition upheld by the saturated, hand-dyed wool utilized in this composition. Distinctive stepped borders frame the central field, which features stylized cloud-band or abstract floral elements rendered in a softer blue outline.
