Antique Chinese Textile Small Square Scatter Size Wool Yellow Rug

Antique Chinese - Textile Small Square Scatter Size Wool Yellow Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exquisite late Qing Dynasty square piece is technically a Chinese textile, showcasing the refined embroidery traditions that often paralleled the production of knotted antique rugs during this period. The field is dominated by a rich, burnished ochre, placing it firmly within the category of luxurious yellow color rugs. This warm, autumnal hue provides a striking contrast to the finely detailed, silk-embroidered butterflies and moths rendered in subtle shades of cream, white, and pale blue, suggesting longevity and grace. The composition features a mesmerizing, seemingly random distribution of fauna across the entire surface, characteristic of an allover pattern.
