Antique Large Chinese - Ningxia Chinese Allover Floral Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: China, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional late 19th-century weaving represents the sophisticated aesthetic of traditional Chinese rugs, originating from the renowned workshops of China during the late Qing Dynasty. The composition adheres closely to the refined ningxia style, characterized by its open, airy design and restrained color palette. The central field is dominated by a luminous ivory-beige field, providing a perfect canvas for the scattered, stylized motifs rendered primarily in deep indigo and subtle terracotta hues. The allover pattern features an array of auspicious symbols, including delicate floral sprays and various ancient bronze vessels and vases, lending the piece a classical, scholarly air.
