Antique Chinese Small Scatter Size Wool Green Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite Chinese textile, likely woven as a saddle cover or small mat, presents a highly symbolic design rendered in dense wool pile. Its dimensions classify it perfectly as a small scatter size piece, offering versatility for display in intimate spaces or as a striking wall hanging. The field utilizes a deep, saturated shade of green, providing a striking contrast to the vibrant secondary colors—crimson, indigo, and ochre—found in the complex borders and medallions. The wool is tightly knotted, ensuring durability and a luxurious handle, characteristic of high-quality antique rugs. The central design features mirror-image medallions, likely depicting stylized dragons or mythical creatures, surrounded by scattered floral and cloud motifs.
