Antique Chinese Saddle Rug Horse Cover Wool Navy and Brown Carpet, Circa Date: 1920s. This unusual and highly decorative piece represents the transitional period of Chinese weaving, moving toward more simplified, bold designs while retaining traditional symbolism. Its specific dimensions categorize it perfectly as one of the small scatter size rugs, ideal for narrow spaces or as a striking accent piece in a refined interior. Woven entirely of high-quality wool, the palette is defined by a dramatic contrast between the deep cobalt blue field and the rich, saturated border. The dominant use of brown earth tone color rugs provides a grounding warmth, characteristic of the more sober palettes favored in early 20th-century Chinese production, while the accents of beige and coral provide necessary visual lift.
