Antique Ningxia Chinese Geometric Yellow 1825 Square Rug, Circa Date: 1825. This exceptional piece represents the refined artistry of early 19th-century Chinese weaving. Ningxia rugs are prized for their distinctive palette and powerful, often architectural designs, distinguishing them from other categories of antique rugs. The composition is defined by a striking contrast between the rich indigo blue and the luminous yellow field. The use of this specific shade of yellow, which has mellowed beautifully over two centuries, provides a warmth and depth characteristic of high-quality natural dyes. This brilliant combination places the piece among the most desirable yellow weavings of the period. Structurally, this square rug is presented as two distinct, mirror-image panels, suggesting its original function as a ceremonial seat cover or cushion.
